body corporates are like that. Friend of mine lives in one, with 11 small houses. They are charged insane fees for insurance etc, more than buying it retail.
but they're contractuially required to use the body corp.

Massive fail. I do not own a mill today.
On the other hand, I picked up a mitutoyo dial caliper in metric for $60 which was quite a good price
