Welcome Ben,
Damn - I just deleted yesterday the contacts for scopes in NZ I searched for for a mate in Whakatane.
I did a search on the NZ telescopes site and $900 for an 8" dob seems excessive but in my opinion I would get an 8" over a 6" - it will keep you happier longer; but Eric is right - I started with an 8" dob and now own a 10" dob and an ED80 for photography (and a celestron 130SLT for playing with!)
I would put a WANTED ad here on this site and see what turns up.
I think I bought my 10" for about $450 here and we seem to have more and more members from across the ditch!
Good luck with the hunt and welcome aboard!
