Hello Kit, okay hypothetically lets work this out, say a Martin OM-28V -
US street price on a OM-28V - $2500 USD
+ shipping - 250-300
+ Import duty/tax etc - 500-600 AUD
Total - $3250 USD or more
Not sure where the Aussie dollar stands right now against the USD, you will need to check it out.
Also the risk of purchasing overseas and sending item back if item is not up to your satisfaction can also add up.
I on the other hand, got a fantastic deal on my OM-28V brand new for $3530AUD, free postage here in Australia. By comparing to the inuendo of purchasing a git overseas, I decided to add a little more $$$ and purchased here. Plus it's safer and also helps our local business. Hope this helps?
