[plug] A good place for...um...

[Adam Davin]

try http://www.ebay.com.au

Online auctions...

I've just started looking around, and some of the prices are good... others
are pretty shocking ... I guess it depends on what the ppl who are doing the
bidding know about the things they are bidding on.

Enjoy & good luck

Adam
