We are hard done by in Australia, not much call for SAE sockets, only for American and old English stuff, I have a Jeep so it will come in handy for that.

In general we pay double or more for a lot of stuff than you guys pay over there

Here is a couple of typical examples

BWY - Mainsail cover to suit Mac X/M $219Us ($292 Au)
Blue Reef Yachts (Macgregor Distributor in Aus) $560Au ($421 Us)

Genoa Cover BWY $189US ($251Au)
Blue Reef Yachts S345US ($460Au)

Main Sail
BWY $595US ($791Au) - Better than OEM
Blue Reef Yachts $842Us ($1120Au) Doyle OEM

As you can see the mark up here is through the roof
