Aye - the aussie dollar is still on par with the greenback or slightly stronger - has been for a while. We don't see any price drops here though.
I've done some price checking, and au.mouser.com, au.element14.com etc are at least 50% more expensive, but more often than not closer to 100% more expensive. All other aussie retail sites I've checked are just as bad.
Products I was interested in:
BK precision multimeter 2709B
Hakko FX-888D or FX-888 solidering station
Was hoping the collective electronic wisdom on here might have been able to make recommendations for decent aussie prices for electronics gear - so any suggestions would be appreciated
I suspect it's like most other retail stuff in Australia - we're getting seriously gouged
