Prices in Australia

Hi
I thought I will add my 2 cents here.
Please do not forget that some of the local retailers actually have shop fronts.
Yes Iceman - those are the sponsors of this web site. As such I do not mind them to make a bit of profit to coved their high expenses. Others have no shop front and operate on smaller margins and often even are better to deal with. Others still told me to my eyes that they are not interested in showing me "all the eyepieces in the shop" as they are interested in pushing stuff out the door. This particular retailer has a shop front (actually I would call it a shack) and has not one item on display of any quality - but offers to sell you any Celestron product at a discount....

Give me Frontier Optics any time...., or perhaps Bintel if that fails !
