That's a good price considering I thought I was being ripped off paying 95c a gallon in Texas during the early-80's. :lol:

Walked into Braidwood Outdoor Shop yesterday looking for 8208. So was the dude who stepped in the door before me. 2 bottles left, he only wanted one so I took the other. I thought $98/1kg was pretty good. 8)

Always worth a look there if your out that way. Seems to have stuff that others don't just when you want it. Trying not to make a habit out of it though as it will most certainly run out of luck if I keep pushing it. :lol:

I got the last 1/2 pound of RL17 from Abelas in Melbourne on Thursday last week (got a student with a license to pick it up haha)
Not sure if they have more yet, they didn't seem to really know when more was coming - only paid $50 for it too, that's $10 less than Albury - when they have it.
