But isn't there somewhat of a premium because it's in Australia?  I 
thought it was one of those countries where the Apple II didn't make that 
many inroads, be it due to the cost or just local preference, so prices 
would be somewhat higher.  It's easier for someone in Australia to 
actually get the thing than having it shipped over from the US.

Of course, not that high a premium.
