You're right about prices in NZ though. Expensive enough anyway without these cowboys getting stupid. One of the big reasons I do DIY. I can seriously build most stuff cheaper.
I always drool over at CloudyNights prices in the US and the range of gear that is offered but most private sellers in there are CONUS only.
I've been watching for a cheapish Canon 450D or better on TradeMe for weeks but the prices are nothing like I hear mentioned over in Aust.
Double or even higher for some.
I have enough gear mostly for now and I haven't looked seriously at Teleskop yet for hardware but I suspect an 80-100 APO is in my future one day and eventually a decent astro camera.
All I have to do is fund my retirement and my wine habit first ...
... and the fast cars ..
