Anyway our rate being aprox .65us but is predicted to go to .47us within a few months. 3 months ago it was .98. The aussie econmy is one of only a few nations predicted not to go into recession but it doesnt help me get cheaper mills from the US, luckily my os28s just keep powering on!

Yeah - I didn't mean to sound smart or anything. But doesn't a VSPEC cost like 300 bucks at amain??

Here a VSPEC costs the same as a Picco 28 or 21 Evo for ex, 20 Euros more than an LRP Spec 3..

Whatever the case, it's crazy. When I first got into the hobby 3 1/2 years ago, German prices were just retarded. But I guess with the rise of the Euro, things have changed. For the first eight months when it was out, the Spec 3 for ex was hard to find for under 219 Euros.. They've been going for 160ish for over a year now..

Still, can't beat my SW 26 for 90 Euros including shipping. Just got another one for about 85...
