    Hey man -- don't lump us all into one. I know how to speak english, thank you very much

    As for importing parts to AUS: I've looked into it, others have as well. The problem is the (continually) ridiculously high tariffs. They make it impossible to offer anything like the US price levels.

    Don't worry I was just kidding. Though I have been to the U.S. twice and in certain parts some people confuse Australia with Austria until you tell them you come from 'DownUnder'... then they understand.

    Throw another shrimp on the barbie, sink a few tinnies and she'll be right mate!
    Actually it should be 'prawn' not 'shrimp' but apparently you yanks don't know what a 'prawn' is so we had to dumb it down for you!

    But you're okay, Whit!

    Indeed they are. I can get remanufactured units for $50+$50 core. Looks like $30+30 isn't a bad deal on used units.

    Over here they'd be more like $300.00 a piece!
