k4 price Shock

[Gary Gregory-2]

lol, well perhaps I should put this in simple perspective: Figures are
Australian Dollars which can be made to look like Banana
republic pesos..TIC ok


Purchase price K4D in AUD  $6,850.00

freight in USD $ ?????

10% GST on both K4 plus freight: minimum $685.00

total Minimum Cost landed will be in the order of $7,535 (still got the
freight cost to add)

Price Shock?...Yep,..value for money?..you betcha. Absolutely going to be a
game changer. reality?..Sad face for me.

Not everyone can afford everything they want and as much as I would love to
own one, it is not going to happen. I am happy with my K3 with all the
options I need and it does a great job every day.

let's end this thread now in the interest of not giving Eric extra work :-)

It was far worse before recent AU$ improvement.

The main reason I went with the FTDX101MP instead.
