Trevor,
I think if I were quoting, it would be less than $350, but its not totally out of the ball park
I see I was writing my previous post during the time you posted yours ! at least you confirmed some of my thoughts.
What annoys me - is that some commercially produced items end up costing as much as they do !
Sometimes I think that is unjustifiable.
Jeeps,
Its probably made in their Asian factory for the US market - not in Australia ! - They have two factories
But I do agree with the Title of the thread - there are plenty of good, genuine reasons to buy overseas - I do all all the time - usually its because I can get it quicker (or even at all) but price is sometimes a relevant issue.
The main thrust of my post was that even simple and small items can be expensive to make when they are one offs because of the amount of time involved - its not that anyone is being ripped off - in fact with most one off jobs like that you eventually lose.
I get all my OTA adapters made by Precise Parts in the US - because I can't make them as well for the price they charge - yet some would say their prices are too high !
