<tt>Hi all<br>
Just to let you know that we're exploring the possibility of having a
large number shipped in so as to reduce the shipment costs.<br>
In the meantime I should bring your attention to another small
self-assembly telescope project in Japan called You are Galileo:

We are also hoping to bring these in in bulk - will inform this list as
soon as we confirm.<br>
Regards<br>
Kevin<br>

<pre wrap="">As I accidentally replied to Maciej (instead of the list), you'll also
need to buy tripods, since the scopes don't come with any sort of
mount.

<pre wrap="">I just added 20 of these for friends and family to my basket, and once I
filled in 'South Africa', the shipping came up to $300, making my order of
20 scopes @ R160 each = R6,000. Incredible.

<pre wrap="">Galileoscopes now available
The Galileoscope — a high quality, easy-to-assemble and easy-to-use
telescope at an unprecedentedly low price — is now available to order.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.galileoscope.org/">https://www.galileoscope.org/</a>
R500 is not exactly an unprecedentedly low price for a 50mm 'telescope'
(Cost = $15, shipping to SA =$24) And you will probably have to add VAT and
other Customs charges as well.
