I think it is being sold by the guys (Angus) who runs All tools online. He's just started being a Vicmarc distributor in syd.
Oh, I'd appreciate it if you lot would stop talking about it -- it will end up costing me more 
Cheers,

I was actually in carbatec today (beats working ) and they have the Nova 1624-44 on sale for ~$1530, which I though was OK. Not a bad lathe, and a pretty good speed range for a belt change lathe. Seems to be very similar to the 3000.
The ebay one looks to have a longer bed. Bt you wouldn't want it to go much higher than say 50% of what the 1624-44 was going for new, I reckon (though I am probably way off here!)
Cheers,

Salesman talked me out of a carbatec disc sander - the woodfast is a lot better, but I didn't feel like spending $300 today on it!
