yeh. i like the look of the clour sounders. and indications of price ranges blaze?

[blaze]

paid $850 off ebay, thats about the recommended price in the states, I dont know about aussie prices but i reckon you could add 45% to that. this is shipping ex syd including frieght and insurance.
Will have to see what the outcome is

if you pay for it always pay for it through ebay dont conduct the sale through an email you have no come back from ebay if you buy it outside of them
just my 2 cents worth about ebay ;D ;D

hi jeff
know what ya mean, I have been a buyer and seller on ebay for a couple of years (only odd bits and pieces) and would never do outside ebay deals.

It's going great. I'm working a 24 day stretch at the moment so it hasn't been up to much. I hope that will change soon. Hope you have a good trip. I think it will be bloody cold anywhere you go down that way. Catch ya later.

Onya Blaze good luck with the new Sounder.
I fitted my Matrix 37, 4 weeks ago and still have not had the boat in the water :'(
And that set me back almost as much as you paid for this but I bought it locally.
Figure I'll see colour if I hit my head periodically with the donger [smiley=hammer.gif]
