I am very close to ordering a couple of these gizmos from the US and save bucks on the NZ retail price, but the cost difference between shipping 2 and shipping 3 is US$10, so who out there in KB land is keen for one?
here's some guff:
NZ site/shop : NZ$1200 +GST

US site: US$299 (NZ$500)

US review site:

if you compare their ratings to the well known Valentine 1, the Escort kicks ass
shipping for 2 is US$89, 3 is US$99
they will attract GST/duty tax on the way in, so the approximate price per unit if 3 are ordered may be a bit over NZ$600 each.
payment details will have to be worked out of course, my credit card has a very low limit and wouldn't stretch very far... (4 or 5 units)
