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.

Staintune is easier as my Brother lives over there so he can bring one back as hand luggage when he comes for a visit.(12-27-2013, 09:34 AM)GUNFTR_imp Wrote: 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.

Manual arrived 9 days after order placed, total NZ$63 delivered to my door from sell.com. Very happy with purchase.
