Celestron have their local markets sown up. When I bought my CGE11 mount and C11 package about 5 years ago I had to buy it from the Irish dealer so I had to pay the dealer mark up. No seller in the UK would ship Celestron to Ireland. They were not allowed to. When my mount was faulty out of the box it took months to get it repaired. A real rip off which is why I won't buy Celestron again. Most dealers won't ship Celestron out of the US either.
