lol![]()
nick.
Must be a mistake.
More like
$82.00
And $45 for postage seems a little steep too.
Gravity is proof that nature keeps getting us down.
Don't worry I've seen somebody trying to sell the factory dash speakers in the vl for 60+ dollars. They're worth about 2cents.
I don't get it...
Don't you guys know what Nakamichi is? It's a high end Japanese brand which are very expensive. That's a 6-CD indash stacker with pretty high end audio processing. They retail for $2,499AUD last year.
If Nakamichi is such a good brand...
Why haven't I heard of it before?
I know it's a top end brand, but $45 for postage is a rip.

I don't think 45 dollars from Indonesia to Australia is ridiculous. Maybe a little high priced but it seems right. Was 40 dollars just recently for a motorbike pillion seat from Great Britian to me.
And they are work about 650 dollars US for that model. So I don't know where on earth you pulled 2,499 from.

The prices is from the Australian distributor. We live in Australia, so try looking at Australian prices. If you look at the US price of any electronic goods sold in Australia the price difference is rather large.
And $45 from Indo to Australia is not expensive at all compared to what an eBay store would charge.
even if you dont know the brand, the specs should tell the story. 0.008% THD. 4 preouts. sounds like a SQ deck to me. Also looks like you have pie on your face.
tehfastyone, what good brands do you know?? alpine? pioneer? kenwood?
Yeah, i'd say 1/3 of RRP is a pretty good price... The last one I saw being sold 2nd hand was going for $1,350 but eventually went for $1,100.
Wow! I wish I had of paid that much for my old Naka!
Naka is one of the best of the best. Once upon a time it was all I would ever use. They don't run on 12Volts. Mine had an external power supply to bump it up to about 30Volts.
You put you left foot in, your put your right foot in , you take your left foot out and you slide it all about!
this is one of the funniest threads i have visited in a while.
semi was on the ball .008thd god damn!
$45 for postage is fine. i paid 65USD to ship a pair of speakers from the US. OH and i wonder what brand they are: NAKAMICHI! hehe this is rather funny.
there is a cd700II in the us for $500 starting with a $700 buy it now option. bargain!
hopefully i will be getting a naka deck and some of their amps soon so hopefully i can get it for $820!

read the part about the naka being fitted to his maserati. also i have see a bugatti V12 monster twin turbo and it had a naka tuner standard (i think it was a bugatti).
also here is the australian retail pricing sheet that i got a while back. i think the prices say enough...

Its pretty funny, this just proves some people have no idea.
People will judge an item by what it looks like, hence pay big bucks because it looks good.
Bet ya the original poster feels pretty stupid now.
Notice how it doesnt even have mp3? most naka players if not all dont play mp3s because the equip is of such high quality if your going to play mp3s on it, its a waste. Might as well buy your bling bling head unit with flashing colours.
yeha i think my stock h/u looked almost better than a nak h/u!
Yeah, that nak one doesnt look the best.
But there a quite a few ones that look pretty sweet in my opinion.
Its the type of head unit that you could put in a ferrari and it would suit it.
Could you imagine putting a panasonic with blue neons in a ferrari? it would degrade the car.
The nak h/u's are class at its best, not this bling shit from jb-hi fi.
It's not about looks, let's face it with the spec sheet on that thing, you'd be getting it for how it sounds, not how it looks.
And yeah, when I'm rich and famous (AS IF) and I have my Ferrari, it would look nice in there.

I've owned Naks before...YUM YUM
You put you left foot in, your put your right foot in , you take your left foot out and you slide it all about!
really i didnt know jb stocked ALPINE!!!Originally Posted by ascension24
