Good time to buy-in from overseas?

Post by stargazer »

Folks,

With the strong S$ and weakening US$, is this a good time to buy quality astro stuff from overseas vendors (those in US)?

Any recommendation for some reliable vendors from your experience?

Thanks for opinions...

Ya there has never been a better time. The US$ is expected to remain weak, so there's no hurry though.

I would recommend OPT. Join as a OPT club member for free and expect to get 1%-2% off the listed price. As a first time customer, you would have to pay via paypal instead of via credit card.

Even better - buy second hand. The US dollar is down and if you're not in a tearing rush you can get a good deal on lots of different items :)
