He says it's going cheap so it must be a deal.  Tell johnnytuinials, now!

I guess we can't blame the seller for trying.

Anyone from Australia want to give us some insight? Billy--are you Australian?

i think the Highway One series were a smidge over $1000 new, plus the $650 he claims for Kinmans, not sure how he got to $2000 for a second hand instrument. 

Here's one the same as his, on sale for under 1k http://bavasmusic.com.au/store/fender-highway-stratocaster-electric-guitar-p-3144.html

Well, kinmans don't cost that much and combined with the price of the guitar he is selling with the kinmans, all brand new, would be $1500 max.    In today's market, down here, he'd get about a $1000 for it, not $2000.  Colloquially here we say, "tell him he's dreaming".

I love Australia. Especially all the lederhosen and alps...

A few years ago, 2000 AUD would have been like, what, 40 bucks?

Would have been a terrific deal back in the day.

Shit, I used to spend every new years eve in Montreal...I can remember getting $1500 CAD for $1000 US!

I'm also pretty sure that your gas is now cheaper than ours and I KNOW your unemployment is much lower.

Kudos to Canada, too! Unlike Australia, you don't have big mountains like the Alps, but at least Hitler didn't come from there!

Always room for US-Oz arbitrage, and US-UK for that matter.
Import Duty isn't THAT much!
