Defender cabinet $$$$

[Bones]

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!

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,
