RS> of bullshit. A landed price for an external would be over A$700.

BG> Retail from a dealer, sure.

Thats what you would have to pay if you wanted to import one.
With a small possibility of fluking not having to pay the sales tax.

BG> But there's nothing bogus about those figures,

They are bogus in the sense that going non austel
would normally be costing your $700 class money.

BG> as that's exactly what I'll be paying for mine.

We'll see. You havent got it yet and there is a death of
dirt cheap antique Couriers that are needed to qualify anyway.

BG> If I qualify for the trade-in price,
BG> I'd be a fool not to take advantage of it.

Sure, but you were claiming that it was the price that should
be used for comparisons. It aint. Its not achievable by most,
and most wouldnt be prepared to wait a year anyway.

BG> Not being a sysop, I can't even buy an M34F for that price locally!

RS> Well, its not hard to satisfy Netcon on sysop pricing,
RS> thats one of the few things in Netcons favour.

BG> It is if you're not a sysop.

Its easy enough to BECOME a sysop to qualify for that.
