its just how it works man, with everything, if its not made here or china then your gonna pay threw the ass for it, because the government wacks a hefty import tax on it, then you have the Australia suppliers making a profit, then you have your DJ stores making a profit, it sucks these days no matter what you pay for something, Divide the cost buy about 10 at least and thats how much it cost to make....i work for a major Flat pack Furniture Store, you know, bits of wood in a box with an allen key and screws, half hour later you have a bookcase, we sell bookcases that cost $5 to make, we buy them for $10, then sell them for $70 best thing you can do is contact Vestax themselfs and see what they can do for you, it may be a hassle but who knows, maybe getting 1 or 2 over just for you is easier then 10,000 for big Suppliers, n shit if u can get them cheap, get more then u need and make a small profit yourself on them bitches
