I should answer as I live in istanbul turkey
there are many hobbyists enthusiasts here but the stuff you mention is far beyond the reach of the hobbyists enthusiasts we simply dont have a disposable income and we pay a high import duty tax for anything imported . that said what you also see here is a large agricultural requirement for high end weather stations . here in turkey we are not dependent on imported produce or agriculture food we export not import so in recent years use of of high end industrial grade weather stations is in demand and can be widely seen in use to those with a trained eye..Vaisala , Davis have distribution here but only on a commercial level not consumer hence the prices .
for most hobbyists consumer enthusiasts even most Davis hardware is out of reach simply due to 30-35% import duty and a weak lira against the dollar , pound, euro which can change rapidly in a day .
a davis vp2+ costs aprox 11,000 lira now add 30-35% on top tomorrow it could easily increase by 400-500 lira based on exchange rate. average monthly income here is 3 to 5000 lira note average .
for commercial imports for companies obviously the tax relief is available but there is a high demand for tech here in turkey so we see a lot of high end stuff priced at commercial use .
dont know if any of that answers your question but contrary to what many still think being we ride camels
and use horses for transport is so far beyond reality..
have a good day brian..
