Why not have someone buy a copy of the manual here from their local dealer and ship it to you? A fresh factory manual can be had for around $60-70 here. Those shipping costs seem outrageous... although when I asked my dealer if he could match the $832 price for a Staintune a few months ago, he said that just the shipping alone was going to eat $150+ of his margin... Pirates Lair must be getting some sort of volume discount!!!

Good thought, but through sell.com no one else is involved if that makes sense. Shipping charges are strange, when I have bought tech books via Amazon its next to nothing which is why I question the US$157 - NZ$200 for basically a book. I shipped ex UK earlier this year about 30kgs for 190GBP or NZ$400 in less than 7 days. Staintune is easier as my Brother lives over there so he can bring one back as hand luggage when he comes for a visit.Celebrate
