Sure the shifters were cheap (USD9.99 each) but the postage varied from the Stupid (USD40) to the plain crazy (USD100+). Yes there's some bargains around I'm sure but for the most part this ended up not being an option for me. So I found a place that would sell these to us for about $65 landed here, if I bought 5 of them. This is what kicked off the Group-Buy. Then I paid for a sample unit which never arrived, so I turned to tracking down one of the makers of these things and here we are now. To clear up any confusion about this in terms of cost... We're paying: * Short shifter EX Factory * Freight from China * Import Duty (%15 IIRC) * GST 10% * Currency Transfer costs ($22 + roughly 1% exchange rate) * Postage within Australia for each shifter except mine and Skitz's * Subsidising the cost of the bushes slightly So that's where the cash is going and I can assure you we're not getting a volume discount. We're ordering the bare minimum to make this happen. So that's the story, and if you want to buy from eBay then that's cool, but I really think most people on the Group Buy have looked at eBay and gone "too much hassle" or "these guys really don't want to ship here" as such. In other words we're all smart enough to know that $75 delivered is a fair price and better than anything on eBay today (I've checked). A.

Now to the other questions:
Yes they're still available, I can PM details over if you want. The order has been paid for, and we're now in the production queue. This means that it should be about 2 weeks (that was our initial time quote) and they'll be here. I will be mailing these out when they arrive and that will hopefully be before Dorrigo. The price factors in postage as I'm keen to ensure that everyone gets theirs as quickly as possible. The main thread about these is over at FordLaser: http://www.fordlaser.com/viewtopic.php?p=550075#550075 You're welcome to read through the whole thing any time, and it's where I'm maintaining the full list. As I've posted over there, I'm sorry about it taking so long to get to this point, there's been a combo of delays in the past two weeks that have held things up in terms of getting the order in and paid for, but we are now in the hands of the Chinese and that emans we're at the mercy of our position in the production queue. A.
