Actually more expensive OS.

Buy it now on us ebay has recently shown 80 usd + 25 usd shipping.
Maybe 10 usd off if you win a bid.

Ebay australia shows 124 aud incl shipping.

The cheapest I've seen in Aus is 95 aud + unspecified shipping.

Most charge $20 for shipping.

Netplus is $108 with OCAU free shipping.

See this

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/EPSON-T5966-Light-Magenta-7900-9900-Ink-350-ml-NEW-/1

60512745980

----- $139 incl freight.
best australian price is $204 if you buy a whole set, plus freight
and this

http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Genuine-Epson-Stylus-Pro-7900-9900-WT7900-Ink-700ml-N

ew-/180582204077

------ $260 including freight.
Aust - $352 plus freight.

Last time I bought some ink cartridges on-line they looked genuine but
stuffed up the printer head. The Memory card I bought on line looked genuine
but was FAR slower than stated. Unfortunately you have to buy from VERY
reputable dealers, or the price is irrelevant.

Epson and the retailers have not passed on anything of the exchange rate.

That is unfortunately true for nearly all the Australian distributors. Only
the shops that import direct seem to be good at passing on any savings.

[I see today there is one guy 79.99 usd and wants to 3-day ship for 45 usd;
but you could probably beat him down to a standard UPS 2 lb box at 25 usd].

I can get the 1.5 at $69 over the counter and have no problem with
warranty through Samsung Australia. I'm not really into large drives too
much data to sort if things go wrong. The sweet spot in Aust is the
1.5Tb price wise.

================================

I knew this would be their (large Retailers) next move.
The fed govt will have a look it, and completely stuff it up in their
usual fashion.

Perhaps I should take bets on how badly they can stuff it up.

Cheers Don...

=======================

He he. Maybe we will see Harvey Norman couriers and shipping soon, where
the real profits are in shipping the stuff around!

Nope, the real money is in currency exchange. More profit for less work.

With Epson, you can buy genuine epson catridges out of taiwan.
Had no problems with them. Agree on the "generic" brands though
Unless things have changed a lot in recent years, I wouldnt use them.

I'm NOT talking about the generic brands, I'm talking about the branded
fakes that are indistinguishable from genuine, complete with holgrams and
all.

Why would I buy from Myer when I can buy from a reputable HK-based
store that charges half as much?

No bet.

======================
Best thing to do would be to buy zero from the retailers that are
pushing for this, write to them and tell them why.

They'll just yawn, because not enough to matter will do that.

Agree.

Its very arguable that warranty matters much at those prices.

I'm not really into large drives too much data to sort if things go wrong.

Theres no important difference between 1.5TB and 2TB on that.

The sweet spot in Aust is the 1.5Tb price wise.

Not anymore.

You'd have to give some pretty interesting odds....

Now and again someone's .sig is interesting.

I have decided that effects pedals are VASTLY over priced.

$250-450 for an overdrive circuit for example
I can get hold of the circuit schematics and the list of bits
required.
Turning that into a PCB has me stumped. Haven't been fiddling
with lecky kits since age 12.

Any ideas?
