Your not kidding about the price of postage. I had a fellow asked about my PA4X from Sydney. He thought he would pay for the shipping until I told him the price. I I checked with Fedex, UPS and the average cost was $1100.00 US dollars!

Might check USPO. I shipped a 3x to Canada for a very reasonable price. UPS and Fed Ex wanted several times more.

Hi Don,
remember that Ketron pedal board I bought from you years ago for my sd1.
I think you nearly fell thru the floor when they told you what the postage was,but I wanted it regardless because I couldn't get one over here.

Hi Deane, wouldn't only be the postage, our dollar has dropped go 74 cents against the USA dollar. The guy would have to add another 25 % to the overall cost of pa4x plus postage.

2 to 3 years ago our dollar was worth $1.10 , they were good times for buying stuff from the USA, not now.

Thanks Guys,
for your help and suggestions on the PSR and a mic.
Hubby ended up letting me buy a Pa 4x.
Priced it Friday, picked up Saturday . Long 5 hr trip, but also gave me a chance to catch up with a few of the people I used to work with in the store.

While I was waiting for the keyboard dept to open, I decided to ask about a mic.
Unfortunately they didn't have the ones you guys recommended, but I got offered a really good price on a sennheisser e835?? so decided to take it plus the cable.

Meanwhile my keyboard guy arrives, (like old home week,) starts doing the paperwork for the keyboard. Told him I 'll pay for for the mic and cable separately , NO, was the answer, I'm not charging you for it.

So Gary, I ended up with a free Mic after all , how good is that. Haha

Sounds like a great deal on the mic, and that mic is very high quality.

Good luck, and I hope to hear some vocals from you in the near future,

Gary cool

Hi Gary,
Hadn't planned on getting a quality one, but , initially it was offered to me at nearly half price, then given to me for nothing, who could say , NO ,to such a great deal. Haha
