Hi there, fellow Hi-MD folks! This is my first post here and may be of particular interest to Australian readers. I am shortly to become the owner of a MZ-NH700. I ordered one online for AU$310 from a computer supplies shop in Byron Bay: www.e-shop.com.au While I was at it, I checked the price of their blank media and saw they will have them available at AU$3.82 (incl. GST) from 29th September. (No, that's not a typo!) SONY | HMD1G | HI MD 1GB DISC | australia For non-Australian buyers, you can place an international order but not online, according to their stated shipping policy: Shipping within Australia For orders shipped to Australian addresses we charge a flat Rate of $15 including GST regardless of the size of the package. Note that our couriers will require a signature. We are unable to ship to PO boxes. We do not currently offer a pickup service. International Shipping We do not accept online orders from outside Australia. Please call or email if you would like to order goods for shipping internationally. We will provide pricing on an individual basis. Remember too that non-Australian buyers can deduct 11% from the stated price for GST, which is only applicable in Australia. This dealer has been very friendly and helpful with my order and enquiries, replying promptly to my emails. I hope some of you find this post useful! Cheers vovobiscuit
