We're doing fine! We bring in a range of our own branded products so avoid being gouged by the Australian suppliers as much as many other stores.

Pricing in store V's online from China will always be shit - especially until the government stops double dipping on the GST component - charging importers GST on the import duty and then the GST again at the point of sale - it's a joke!

Anywhoo enough shop talk.........I have a Subaru to collect in a couple of hours & a trip O/S departing tommorrow - that I still need to pack for.

I'm a little excited!
