Er… USD$230 is not more than AUD$225
spot rate is currently 1.08:1 so AUD$213.00 from Amazon.
v.s $225 + delivery from PCCG ($15?)
PCCG isn't the only place selling it for cheaper, just one of the most popular. Search StaticIce and you'll find a bunch of places.
The $10 extra for local warranty and faster delivery seems like the bargain here. ;)
True that. GreenBox IT have it for $215

I assume price drop is due to all the new i5 models they now stock?
PCCG isn't the only place selling it for cheaper
I listed PCCG because they have a lot of products.
v.s $225 + delivery from PCCG ($15?)
For those who can pick up doesn't have to pay for shipping and that will cost only $225
also dont forget about the exchange rate fee, typically even if they dont charge you a fee they wont giue you 1.08 per dollar.
If you can tax deduct the locally purchased item, then you may be able to offset the GST, which you cant with the Amazon purchase.
Unless it gives you more than 25% advantage on price, you dont buy from overseas coz you bascially have no warranty.
MSY is selling @ $233 aud. Why bother?
Been a member for over 1 year and still post this..
I meant $223 AUD. >_<
Sigh, obviously a very careless post by bluntman :(
delivered for $219 AUD is good for us rural folk ($237 from PCCG)
Not if you at any point need to claim warranty.
warranty will be fine if bought from amazon
well its a toss up because you lose warranty and shipping time is going to be faster if you get it from someone like pccg.
It's $220US on the site? I'd rather get it locally anyway if possible.
XE shows 230.00 USD = 213.171 AUD.
yeah but you still have to pay currency conversion and your bank typcially doesnt give that rate…
For a second I thought they must have gone up to $300 here for some reason but no. Not a bargain at all.
For a sec I thought its 2600k…………..
Come on mate, do your research before posting
I bought it for $215 from MSY a year ago…
Haggle with your local computer store and save on shipping.
lol concern about warranty. Just go direct with intel, they have a base in sydney and all you need for warranty is the heatsink+fan.
not a good price
What everyone said.
While I don't think this is a bargain it's good to know just how far Amazon has extended it's international shipping.
umart selling it for $224
Not a bargain!!
The prices of 2500k have gone up because there is no AMD competitor for it.
please buy local
Local is cheaper…
lol
Not a bargain AT ALL.
PCCG have 2500k for $225 http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&c…
MSY have 2500k for $223 http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=7581
And also why would you buy from overseas when you can buy them at local for cheaper price.
