prior to making my own device i did try and get a grcs from the usa via a supplier in Perth they wanted $7500 aus,absolute ripoff so i made my own cost all up about $2000

Can't you buy direct from a US vendor and pay for the shipping? That would eliminate at least one of the middlemen. Or...get hold of Greg Good for a direct sale.

I talked to two Aussies at the airport after TCIA Expo. They came to the show to buy a chipper and stump grinder. They made the deal and were heading back to Oz to make shipping arrangements. There plan was to have the chipper and stump grinder delivered to California. Then they would secure them in a shipping container. After the big iron was secured the rest of the space was going to be filled with ropes, saws and other gear. The savings they would realize by dealing direct would more than offset all of their travel expenses of two trips to the US. They were planning on selling off some of the supplies to make some walking around money as soon as the container was unloaded.

i looked at this 2 years ago,with the exchange rate as it stands now it would certainly be doing what you suggest now
