Well if they priced them more reasonably people wouldn't be so tempted to go for "grey" market stuff.... if they can find someone who is prepared to ship overseas (they do exist BTW and aren't that hard to find if you are in the know. ... hint : some very big places in the NY area or via Ebay).
Locals can't stand a little competition ?
Or just take a very quick (overnight or two day) holiday in the USA, and buy one while there and arrange for it to be shipped home while there if you can't find someone willing to sell overseas and ship overseas by email or by fax or by phone. If you are there, they can't refuse to sell you one if you've got a credit card or debit card or the cash to buy it. Heck you probably wouldn't even need to leave the secure foreign terminal at the airport , it could all be done over the phone.
Could probably call them just prior to departing Oz , buy it , tell them you want delivered to the motel you'll be staying at or the local removalist depot to packed in a container with a few houses full of peoples firnature to shipped to Oz by sea or got the front desk, and take it from there (get the motel to arrange shipping for you) when you arrive in the USA.
Where there's a will there's a way. Talk with your money , by buying elsewhere if you're not happy with the local price ..... it is supposed to be a free market and we are supposed to have a free trade agreement with the USA are we not ?
.... I might look into that .... when the exchange rate improves again.
