Poor Jon's $170 square costs just $45 in Portland, OR. And $10 or so
to ship in the States. Shipping to and from AU is GHASTLY, usually
doubling the price of anything.


Shipping to AU isn't cheap, and shipping within really isn't either. But
I had it in 2 days out of Sydney which is pretty darn good for here.
Exchange rate, plus anything really worthwhile (not import crap) really
isn't cheap. But it's my livelihood, and a write off to boot.

Some Americans never get over sticker shock here. Me, if I really want
or need it, I just buy it and don't think about it too much.
