Guest Anonymous Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 G'day gang was wondering if any aussie locals can advise places to purchase an MD. Seems most retailers in Melbourne are pretty ordinary, stocking only sony. Was looking at purchasing the Sharp DR480. Anyone no of a better option than minidisc.com.au at $640 aussiedollars?? Or is this a fair price? Thanks heaps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woppin Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Fair Aussie price as far as i know, if you want better you must import from Hong Kong or Singapore or whatever. Independant retailers sometimes have really good prices. Down here in Tassie we have a family business called Thirgoods that make the prices everywhere else look like a joke. I wouldn't buy from Myer, Harvey Norman, Dick Smith or any other big chain because in general the prices are hopeless. (Maybe in Melbourne where the sun shines and the women are fine this is different) Also the smaller shops are generally more willing to make an effort to get the model you want, they probably wont stock Sharp models, but they might try and get you one. AND they can actually tell you a thing or two about what they are selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 As far as i know only Harvey Norman and "some" smaller stores actually do stock up on Sharp units...the DR480 may be a little hard to find though since Sharp doesn't really have a big foothold on the MD market here in Aus...as woppin said above if you want something cheaper go and look at importing directly from either Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore (though in Hong Kong things aren't that much cheaper nowdays anyway...)...if say Dick Smith or Harvey Norman do stock up on the Sharp unit and u find it cheaper elsewhere they will usually match or even beat the price you give them...I usually buy from stores such as HomeZone in Sydney or G&V Imaging...these two stores offer pretty competitive prices regarding MD units and best of all u can always get a cheaper price if ur willing to bargain... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefu Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I thought I come out of my hatch and offer a deal on the DR480. Melburn, give us a call on 1300 666 275 or email us on sales@minidisc.com.au and we will be more than happy to give a sweeter price on the DR480. We have gave a online store a facelift so ordering cannot get much easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossco_9_9 Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 JB Hi-fi is generally not too bad, as far as bricks and mortar stores go. A friend of mine bought a MZN510 for $400 from there. But I've found online stores to be heaps cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
