over $200 more and it is a special order with a wait of approximately two weeks to order and about four weeks to deliver.

It would be more economical to get a chauffeur driven vehicle to a dealer and back, and you would have the tool the same day.
No bargain on eBay here.

Wow.
What a price difference !!!
Have you also tried Total tools and Sydney Tools ?

Cheers Matt.

Ps I use 165 mm saw 99 percent of the time now,love the size an lack of weight.

Sydney Tools Sydney Tools $299
Total Tools Makita 18V 165mm Brushless Circular Saw Right-hand Blade Skin Only DHS660Z | Total Tools $299
It appears that Makita has a fixed retail price. If you can find cheaper it is a bargain. A few dollar more I could understand but $200+ is a huge mark up. Suggests they buy retail and then on sell.

The reason I am looking at this tool is the blade is on the right and it should have a dust port to attach dust extractor.

Yes, that's the same seller that Matt linked to in the first post and as has already been stated, that's exactly what they do. Am I missing something here.
