I'm not sure about other interested parties but I've always wanted
one. Maybe some day...

The freight is a definite problem. I once bought a few HP9K/300 items
(total weight around ~400 grams) and with the freight and the currency
transfer the price tripled from the original $20. And I didn't choose
overnight UPS delivery either as it took something like a few months.
It almost seems cheaper to fly there :-)
