Don't forget the customs clearance & GST.

Costs when I bought one of 6 in a bulk order went like this:

6 Cards $448.78
Freight  $69.88
Clearance/GST $160.26

Total $678.92 or $113 each (although Howard seemed to charge me a few $
less than that for some reason - are you on here Howard, I'll buy you a
beer sometime!)

At that time, from the Euro costs I also have, it seems the exchange rate
was about 0.5404,  which isn't all that much different to today. (Don't
forget that the NZ$ is strong against the US$, but so is the Euro and the
Pound).

So, yes, it was cheaper than $145.00 - it depends on how long you want to
wait too. Also internal (NZ) shipping is a cost. The trademe guy charges
$9.50 so thats a total of $154.50, Whoever else imports them will need to
charge the other buyers the cost of getting them about the country (Howar=
d
didn't, thats another beer I owe him!)
