I dont get it. Can somebody explain that to me, I think I can have the same saw for about $500 at my local dealer (broken link removed to http://cgi.ebay.com/Husqvarna-346XP-16-Professional-Rated-Chain-Saw-New-/250793137167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3a646f940f)

Maybe it's harder to get in Australia.

Wow. Maybe the same model isnt sold in Australia,thats why bids are so fierce.

It's just Australia. I saw a makita 6401 for $900 AU a while back.

"THIS IS GENIUNE HUSQVARNA SAW NOT A CHINESE COPY SO BID WITH CONFIDENTS"

Maybe "confidents" are more valuable than Aussie dollars?

I believe saws retail for around double in Australia compared to the U.S.

I recenlty sold a like new 660 to someone in Australia at very close to retail here...... we were both very happy.

Lots of used saws go there!

Isn't their dollar a bunch different in value?

Not that much now.As of today AU Dollar was 97 cents to 1 USD.Back in 2007-8 I bought a bunch of antique tools from there,if memory serves the exchange rate was around 75 cents roughly.
