Topic: AC / voltage problems - NJB3 in Australia

[stunt_show]

Hi there,

I am in Australia - looking to buy a NJB3, but they sell (new) for upwards of $650 AUD which is about $425-450 USD!

I would prefer to buy online from the USA, but would like to know how I get around the voltage differences between America and Australia.

Can someone please suggest the best option/s here for me?  If I bought the NJB3 from Australia, not a problem, but the cost is way too high...

Thanks, looking forward to a couple of replies.

Regards,

I've just checked updated prices on the NJB3 in Australia (as I thought I was being a little modest with what I said they were worth)...

They're actually selling for up to $900-1000 AUD = $600 USD or more, and that's just for the 20GB version....you can get it from some online stores in Australia (www.mp3direct.com.au) for about $780 AUD = $500 USD...

Now, do you see why I am looking to the USA for assistance?!?

my guess would be to buy one from the states and pick up one of those international voltage adaptors for travelers- you know, the ones that convert british/european/australian plugs to american outlets.

Exactly.  Not sure what AC format Oz is on, but I picked one up for using while in the UK and it cost me a whopping USD$20 or some such.  Easy, cheap solution seeing as you can get a much better deal on the JB3 here.

If you can't find a US-based online retailer who processes/ships international orders and competitive prices to boot, drop me a PM and I may be able to help out.

Since people we asking I wanted to confirm for myself and it was indeed $179.99. I'm not looking for one but maybe our friend in Australia would want to send some cash paypal and enough shipping I'd pick one up for ya.
