I always surf on ebay and I have bought once before from a seller there. Amps are really dirt cheap on certain brands, but only waiting time very long.

By taking 1=6.92, if tax is 40% from the price you buy, then total will be somewhere around rm920. So you will save 480, but this don't have warranty, so can considered as 480 is the warranty.

Well, 1 thing buying from other countries is, the chances that getting imatation is lesser. But depends how you feel it, rm400-500 is not a small amount. Another thing is student can get tax exempted if I not mistaken, if yes then the amp will be rm660 + 1 big makan for your friend.

Tax for electronic product is 40% on declared price. So since your fren bringing, negociate with the vendor to get a cheaper resit, can save some on that. Amp sure taxable. Since your fren carry so, no need buy insurance on it.
Also don't forget the installation charges, unless you install yourself. smile.gif
