Defender cabinet $$$$
« on: November 25, 2004, 06:18:42 am »
ebay.com.au recently had a non-working defender for sale. It appeared to be in otherwise excellent condition.

But....... I couldn't believe it still pulled over $2000au !!!

I don't know if this is a good indication of supply/demand here in Aus because I haven't been following this hobby for long and I don't know what the freight charge is to Australia for something similar, but I recon you guys are sitting on a goldmine in the States. (No, not your Goldmine KrawDaddy.)

Dedicated US units in Au can go pretty high. You guys mostly just got the licensed and unlicensed L&A versions.

Although if it was an L&A licensed Defender, then it was just a case of stupid bidders.

You send them over and I will move them! Meet you somewhere in the middle $$$

Of course if I can't sell them, I will still move them. Move them into my house that is!  ;D

yep, freights the killer. sadly, i've come to realise that not only were there never any (or hardly any) original style cabs here but that because of freight there never will  :( . but... and you guys that own genuine cabs can tell me, if you can 'knock' them down they could be shipped quite flat (minus monitor). freight would be a lot lower then.
myself i've decided a fair replica of one (with jamma) will suffice. be a while yet though. so you started on your project yet bones? it wasn't YOU who bought the defender, was it  ;) or you still hunting down those pommie backpackers...

You guys got dedicated Vectorbeam stuff. I know that much.

Although that doesn't mean much, it just means Vectorbeam games are as rare in Australia as they are in America,
