This is a bad move for Australia, many will use it and businesses, family businesses will close because of it, bad move letting them in, I say boycott Amazon for sure, send them packing.

You are right.

Not particularly good buys. Re the sellers: who the hell are 'Camera Electronic'. I think they are from Malaysia, not AU. And 'michaels camera-video' seem to be from Italy.

Buyer beware.

I assume the second is Michaels in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne. If so, they're one of the oldest camera stores in Australia (and they have a very good camera museum, upstairs from their shop).

You seem to be right. I read their phone number wrong.

CRK is selling on Amazon now:

Sold by C.R. KENNEDY & COMPANY PTY LTD

and the prices seem to match what they have on eBay, which is good.

Edit: And now the same listings formerly marked as Sold by C.R. KENNEDY & COMPANY PTY LTD are now marked as 'Sold by Dcxpert' . Again, just like eBay.

That's an interesting development. With so many b&m stores developing an online presence, I guess we'll see more of this in future.

Except CRK aren't a B&M!

Bob, your two links are both marketplace sellers, not Amazon itself

Thanks for the heads up. It doesn't take much to confuse me.

I was actually talking about their downstream agents, but on reflection I could have phrased that better.
