Where've been through that before and what you have deduced is that
Epson Australia have it overpriced - even at wholesale dealer cost price.

The problem is if you try to import the printer from elsewhere its the
same if not more expensive than here. It weights in at about 15kg boxed.
You have to carry it in yourself to get it for that price - then you
may have to pay extra excess baggage and could/will run into duty/GST.


The cheapest is $1040 so far. May have a better price shortly as I have
also an keeping track of Epsons pricing.

Singapore have them at $1006 SGD plus 5% if you buy it there.
