Good idea Nikolas, but alas, I don't do Facebook.
Despite our dollar being high, prices will always be lower in the US due to volume. Higher volume means lower margins, which is the same for nearly anything that is mass manufactured. If Australia had the same volume of sales as the US then the pricing would be much closer, but we don't.
Smaller volume means higher margins in order to maintain the same percentage profits. And, don't forget one simple principle, if a company cannot make a profit, then they will go out of business. And if companies go out of business then we wouldn't have access to any equipment and would have to go back to making our own.
