betawi, what I've done in this scenario is search for other ebay shops that sell the same product but do ship worldwide. You may have done this already but if not try doing a search for the product and hopefuly someone else who sells it will ship to AU. Otherwise you could just agree with the store to sell it to you without insurance and just take the risk. I don't think I've ever insured the stuff that I buy and luckily I've never had a problem.

I tell you guys what. I live here in the states. The wife is from Perth and were looking at moving back some time next year.
Anyways, If you want something I can mail it to you if you want. I give you my address and when it gets here You guys just pay for the shipping and I'll send it to you.
I understand it must be a pain in the ass to get stuff over there.

If anyone is interested I will set it up with you. And if you guys don't trust me I can provide some references like my work info (I'm a cop here in the states).
