Yep true enough mate, you cant..but I do get peeved at endless bumps for overpriced gear that aint never gonna sell unless some unclued poor git see its without doing his homework!!
Like I said , for rare lenses and non current production runs..E:G the sigma 70 -200 , I can see the added value....but since the old Aussie doller has hit parity with the green back...US based online prices are looking good :}
Mind you...the Aussie Distributor will match any overseas or grey import prices for their gear here in Aus...you just have to ring up sigma. tell how much you can get it for. then they will match it..great stuff...a Brand new Sigma 70-200 HSM 11. will cost me about $800 AU to my door from Aus Sigma.
there was a geezer the over day selling his gear on Market place...and cause it was priced right it sold in no time....I think his Pentax 540 flash went for $275..good price so it sold
people that are amazed that some one aint bought their fantastic lens before now shouldn't be amazed...it aint gone cause its too dear mate!!!
