The price shown is in US dollars which converts to approx. $A299.00 when you add freight/GST, Customs Clearance etc.
The purchase price from China is 95.5 Euro. Additional costs are Wire Transfer Fee, Shipping Fee, Air Freight (Not cheap) which is usually based on Cubic measurement of the shipment, not actual weight. Remember, retailers do not purchaase 1 off any item, customs clearance, delivery from customs, and the GST. These all add to the cost and does not include: Wages, Rent, Power, Phone etc. It would be cheaper to buy Pens, Coasters, and the usual junk found at flea markets where you can get a lot of items into smaller packages than astronomy gear. These tents are totally waterproof (as normal tents) and come with a fly as added protection.
I think some members should engage their brain before their mouth when discussing some aspects of pricing in Australia. Just about every retailer is very aware of overseas pricing and tries very hard to be competitive and match overseas price as closely as possible. REMEMBER, AUSTRALIA HAS A SMALL BASE FOR ASTRONOMY RETAILING.
