Opus 150w PSU orders for australia

ÐuTcH · 01-11-2004, 08:20 PM

hi, if anyone in australia are interested in a group buy on this PSU from Opus, please email me your details of what PSU you'd like! opus will help with a reduced product invoice so we DONT have to pay 15% customs, gst is still an uncertainty (just expect it %10), so in addition to the cost of the psu you'd only have to chip in for the shipping costs ($10AUD+), then either pickup in melbourne, or local postage cost from melb to your city in australia.

Though I think the 150w is the way to go, I'd be interested in preferably an Opus 90w open frame with trigger, due to its slightly smaller pcb footprint. Is it possible to mix the group buy with different spec Opuses?

perkz · 01-11-2004, 09:36 PM

I'd be in on that - depending how much it costs of course.

Hey guys,

Definitely up for a group buy. Am after a 150W'er... I'm sure with a group buy there is a big saving to be made.

Regards,
Dave

this is the quote I received by email, shipping is $30USD, not sure for more than one product yet. enquired about customs/gst, which will be 15%customs and 10%gst, calculated by product cost and shipping cost..

Do opus make bigger PSU? im prolly after 220 W - 250 W, if so ill consider

perkz · 01-13-2004, 06:31 PM

nah freeman - 150W is there largest model (for now anyway)

We won't have to pay GST on it - because its ordered from overseas

Customs don't charge anything unless its over $500 value (no including shipping i *think*) and even then there are ways of avoiding customs if the seller wants to be nice (like declaring it as a gift and such)

ÐuTcH · 01-13-2004, 06:39 PM

zantech sells p4 12V DC-DC PSU's with 250w, but they dont have a shutdown controller or regulator, and input voltage is 9VDC-18VDC unlike opus' 7VDC-18VDC

i rang customs yesterday, if the gst and customs comes to $50 or less then u dont have to pay, other wise %10 + %15 even if order from overseas, i had to pay this for a 7in in dash lcd unfortunetly

we'll have to have a talk to kris from opus if he can arrange something

That means, if you include custom+GST to the total value of this group buy, it will be then cheaper for everyone to get an Opus individually, wouldn't it? Too bad.

Probably

Unless of course we can convince Kris to declare it as - say - $200 value

kingo102 · 01-13-2004, 09:51 PM

hmm not quite wiling to pay johny howard that sort of money in customs duties atm... Does anyone have kris' direct email address???

ÐuTcH · 01-13-2004, 10:44 PM

just use the sales email addy i guess, hes the only one replying to emails, i think hes the only one running the business atm. so yeh if he can delare the product cost and shipping as under $200AUD then we are set, might have to organise a large order for him to be that nice and do that though

Tha Hombre · 01-18-2004, 09:04 AM

I'm looking at getting a DC DC power supply, and am considering getting an Opus. If it'll be cheaper as a group then i'll probably be in.

What determines whether i should get a 90W or 150W? I'll be running a simple PC and touchscreen. Is a upgraded battery / alternator necessary?

Thanks
