Yes, I am familiar with the ebay ones, out of 2, I had 1 good and 1 bad.
It was still worth the wait due to the decreased price for me. (for
the one that worked)

I had previously stated in this thread:
"I mentioned the reduction in price at Logic Supply because some US
based buyers seem more confident buying from them since the are are an
authorized reseller, and some people would rather pay the additional
cost associated with that then risk not knowing where the ones from
China are coming from."

As far as Shipping to NZ, well, doesn't pretty much everything that
you need cost quite a bit more due to it being an Island nation?
