I recently bought a panasonic camera from Japan, brand new for $230 inclusing shipping to australia. Granted it was the 'japanese' model and teh menu is in japanese, but the same camera in australia with english menu's sells for $899. For the sake of $670 I was quite happy to forgo any warranty and the inconvenience of some illegible menu items.
If you have a family member / friend in the US, then feel free to screw the corporate fat dogs that want to rip us all off because we are a country with 'wealth to spare'. Have the item shipped to them, and have them send it over. I doubt you will find any US vendor willing to ship to oz as they aren't allowed. Considering you will be forgoing the warranty, the second hand value of the item will probably be below US$1000 anyway.
