Where can I buy an i2M musicport?

[ruairiau]

Hi Guys,
Where can I get one of these in Australia? Do you have a local distributer here? Can I just buy one from you guys and just mail it to me?

Thanks,
Ruairi

Nevermind, ordered one in from the UK.

Seems I am too late -- but AUSMidi will have the i2M musicport available as soon as they start shipping.

Yeah I called them, they dont have it yet. Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but everything is ludicrously overpriced in Australia. Almost everything can be shipped to Australia for less than half the price it costs to buy stuff at the store.

I knew there was a general price difference in Australia, but didn't know it was so large that importing things yourself was significantly cheaper! Ouch!

Check this out, I just bought this last week:

Line 6 UX 8 (US) - $299 (AU$300.636)

AU$994

It's THAT bad - all the time. Not just for music equipment, everything is just priced in monopoly money.

In Europe, things are generally a bit more expensive than the US -- but the prices in those links look just crazy!

still not available in the us?

[james]

Not yet available in the US (or anywhere else).

We should have news on estimated availability next week.
