Any decent US mail order firms that will take NZ Credit cards and do charge a
fee like some do.


After getting a decent Nvidia FX 5900 3D card..

I don't see why I should pat $650nz for a card that sells in the US for $200
or less.

Thanks

Cheap Gainward FX5900 = $US241 = $NZ409 + GST = $NZ460 + $US100 Fedex =
Hardly worth the trouble

I usually find ebay to be a good place. Just make sure they will ship USPS
expedited. That should only cost about $10 for the card (note, this is not
UPS).

Look for a trader that will sell world wide and take payment via Credit card
or Paypal.

Here is one for $255 + $25 shipping

or $423 NZ in total, this is under the amount where they will collect GST
($500), a cool savings of $250.

How long is it going to stay decent for?

If you're happy with the card, does it really matter how much it cost? If
it does matter, they'll be a lot cheaper next year.

GST is paid on landed cost of over $400nz..

I have read that their are plenty of cards in the $200 price range.

He's saying a graphics cards' performance isn't going to get any worse over
time, but the price will be lower if you wait until next year.

If any of my post contains gobbledegook, please let me know.
