G'day Peter,

Yes I have shopped around and did notice HStore's price, however he's still a bit over $100.00 more expensive. Have a look at - www.model-engine-sales.com, his price for a MARK 2.10 (MOKI branded as MARK) is 249.00USD, shipping is 30.00USD. That comes in at just under 430.00 AUD.

Import duties (10%) only applies to goods in excess of $400.00. So at $430.00 you only pay duty on the $30.00, that brings the total cost to $433.00.
Customs are not interested in us modellers, trust me I've been down this road many times in my 35 years of aeromodelling. Not once have I been charged import duties. Many of my purchases have been well in excess of $400.00

I've continued this thread hoping that all Australian modellers start asking why are we paying such high prices and that they may consider purchasing overseas. You never know, hopefully the message will get through and one day we might start paying a much fairer price.

Cheers
Ken
