Pricing will be in the vicinity of $500 retail. Now you CAN support Oz business. Yee haa.

Although I have most the gear I need, it's good to hear the retailers are coming good

It just doesn't happen.I agree that if possible, they should drop the prices, but they have to be sure that the $ won't go down again etc. PLUS, the importer has to get it here with the cost above, and sell it to a retailer, so that they make a little money, and then they retail it, and make a little money. And it ain't big dollars they're making, trust me.
Add to that, how would you feel if you bought a PCIII for $685. And then 1 month later, the dealer you got it from says "Oh, they sell for $450 now" ? Not very f'kin happy I bet.
Hyperpro is a little different, I call them Hyperleak. hahaha
And the guy I mentioned about the one he bought from the US, just cam to the shop to book it in for another pc and mapping, coz of the hassle he had with the one he got from the U.S. etc etc. I know what you're saying too, but you put yourself in their shoes, and you'd be doing the same thing.

Yeah thats fair enough, I see where your coming from, Its just when things are a bit tight and you have an opportunity to save yourself a few hundred bucks its just too hard to resist!
