0.64 to 0.65 US$ this week, but yes, the great days of US$0.85 to 0.90 are gone and won't be seen for a long while.
Now a question, because there are lots of people here with experience in the various fields (mine is the metalworking and manufacturing industry, with some plastics):
What parts in a Bintel Dob could not possibly be made in Oz for a mass market price, with commensurate accuracy?
I know the trouble is that the cost would still wind up too much, because our domestic market is tiny, but I am curious about the optics especially. The tubes can be made by any competent sheet metal worker, and the various plastic parts can be made here, as well as die castings.
