That's about AU$535 delivered. That is insanely cheap, compared to
just a few months back when I wrote on here about the dramatic price
drops to $680 or so. So that new lower price almost smells fishy.
Quite a few of us on here bought through the eBayer HappySeeds at
the time, he still sells them but for substantially more.
Official Australian rep price is $880+postage.

Happyseeds still sells them, for a little less than $680. What
suggests that he sells them for 'substantially more'..?

I was referring to dmm's post about a seller who has them for around $535
delivered, so Happyseeds is certainly "substantially more" than that amount.
Happyseeds price has gone down since I bought mine, in fact his prices
appear all over the place, he has one for around $570:

Happyseeds is the only reputable seller with good feedback from group
members so far.

Ah yes, totally agree that it seems a bit dubious to buy from this new
seller for such an incredibly low price...
