Have you not noticed the prices of gear going down here, because of how good our dollar is?
Have you not noticed how almost all outdoor stores seem to be constantly on sale (and there for not making 'full' margins in order to keep business?)

Suppliers like Spelean for example, have passed on the price reduction as best as they can - it's very evident in their MSR gear.

This difference is very noticeable for me, as when I left Oz things were quite expensive - to now that the prices in the store are pretty much matching the same price as in Britain - That being said not ALL gear is, but a hell of a lot of it is!! (and considering our minimum wage is substantially higher than both in America and the UK's...)

We need to weigh up what is right, and what is ethical.
