Very true, us country folk always have to consider postage costs for these things.
Perth folk can always just walk into one of Jaycars 4 WA stores: <http://www.jaycar.com.au/stores.asp?State=Western%20Australia#Western%20Aus tralia> And I do see that Jaycar list 10 Authorised stockists around the state - though they do say: > As privately owned businesses in rural parts of Australia and Overseas, our > Authorised Stockists are subject to extra costs such as freight, etc, and we > therefore cannot guarantee they will have the same prices, trading conditions > or product specials as Jaycar.

I must admit I was astounded at the range of prices hdmi cables seem to sell at when I bought one a while back (on a trip to Perth). Jaycar were not offering this item/price then but I think I got a cable for around the $12-$14 mark - but saw them at prices well into 3 figures at some audio/tv outlets!! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
