I was talking to Bruce today about the aussie dollar, and basically it was good whilst it lasted.The current $5950 plus delivery price shld be taken advantage of whilst it is here, it cant last 4ever. The pricing would normally be $6600 and people need to remember the $5950 pricing was a Pre-order special that Bruce has kindly kept going.
The first batch of AC/DC Pro machines were discounted heavily because Bruce/AMD passed on the savings he could make by sending machines from the USA to Australia by seafreight in a container and the numbers for a big order supported that. BUT the aussie dollar has gone from $1.12 when the deal was done back to the $1.03 mark, interest rates have gone up, and it is unlikely that new machines will be able to be offered for the same pricing unless bruce has excessive stock etc of AC/DC.
Although Bruce has left the current Pro pricing at $5950, the replacement/purchase price to compare against shld really be considered at $6600 unless the aussie dollar gets better again, and if machines are sent another way other than seafreight which will have to happen. $5950 wont be around for too long. Best to buy sooner than later whilst Bruce keeps that pricing discounted heavily.
