Just for completeness, large price disparity in astro equipment is not always the case. Consider the following example - although prices vary from vendor to vendor, the cheapest prices I've found for this item (so far), when 10% GST is taken into account, are pretty close.

Item
Celestron C11-A XLT with the same inclusions:

Prices
USA (Optcorp): USD $1995
Aust (BTOW): AUD $2250


(Mods: if this transgresses the ToS, please remove).
