Why are they so dear about half the price in usa

Have been wondering the same thing myself Pottsy ..... have been told things such as Goverment tax as anyhting over a 1000 bucks is dearer to bring into the country plus gst although i thought that was only 10 % ..... of course if they were to say thats the price Aussies are prepared to pay for them then i surspose we carnt do to much about it but i reckon they would sell a ship load more if they were a more reasonable price as they are a great idear ..... USA price about 3,000 bucks ..... Chopperworks price 7,500 bucks ..... and the Aussie dollar is worth more the the greenback , go figure .
