So I was looking to buy the Moto X Play 32GB version. I know the 16GB is available in Aus but i need both SIM slots to be used with SIM cards which then means there is no more storage beyond what is on board. Hence the need for 32GB
I can't find the 32GB version anywhere except India where it retails for about $400 on FlipKart http://www.flipkart.com/moto-x-play/p/itmeajtqyhrnkwrz?pid=M…
Unfortunately Flipkart doesn't ship to Australia.
Does anyone know where I can buy this phone?

Yes, Googling is how I found out about India for $400 and eBay saddened me because the cheapest I could find was $520 (postage included), my inner OzBargainer won't let me buy it off eBay at 25% more…when I know where they are but just can't get them…
So if anyone comes across this post and wonders what i ended up doing, here it is:
I found a few parcel forwarders but they were all somewhat expensive (postage wise about $60) and the cheaper ones had the dodgiest looking websites so though it was best not to risk it.
I ended up finding a seller on eBay…yes eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/171932743333 At the time of purchase the total including shipping was approx. AU$530
The seller had the option to make an offer so i tried approx (it was in GBP) $100 cheaper which got rejected, they countered with a $10 discount, I re-countered with a $70 discount and surprisingly, they accepted.
Before accepting on eBay, I went via Cashrewards to get the extra 1.25% and then added the coupon CRUSHONYOU which gave 10% off at the time.
So i ended up getting it for about $430ish in the end. I'm pretty happy with that price for such a great phone.
The only caveat now is if i get the 1.25% from Cashrewards and if my phone turns up! I have a valid tracking number with UPS international express so hopefully it'll be ok and the phone is legit!The phone turned up and is just as expected! Happy Days!
Did you check ebay or google?
