$8850 is not a bad price. Consider:

US price: $US4400
Postage: $US300
US-AUD Conversion rate: $US0.73/$AU1 (you will never get the full current market rate, because banks/paypal will always skim)
Customs duty (on item only): 5%
GST (on everything incl customs duty): 10%

So that is
(4400/0.73 * 1.05 + 300/0.73) * 1.10 = $AU7413

But postage and insurance will probably cost more than $US300. And there will likely be paypal markup and/or bank fees.
