BGXML579BGMLASTER

To my knowledge, cheapest price so far. Starting price was US$1,198.99 but with coupon brings it down another $109.00 (aaronbaron suggests the code BGMLASTER might bring it down a bit more). Previous best from my search is US$1582. Don't forget cash back either should bring it down a bit.

When I put it in my cart, it didn't show any GST component and this was the price that was shown when I proceeded to PayPal. Didn't go any further as I am not going to buy it. If I wasn't on a budget at the moment, would be jumping at this - plus I don't really need it.

Note: Banggood is not collecting GST on items over $1000. GST and Import duties may apply at the Australian border. See Australian Border Force website
