That is an absurdly high price. Even in AUS dollars. There is a Vortex
forsale this week on the newsgroups for $175 US. I have never *ever*
seen one sell for more than $250 US and that was mint in the box with
all pedals in plastic, manual, etc a few years after the blowout.

A vortex is nice but no where near $800AUS worth of cool IMO. 

Troll Rogue music's web site and other places. I'm sure you can find one
easy enough and at a much better price.
