$1 each, postage probably $5 for any number. Or there may even be
option to pick up / hand deliver, depending on where in Melb you are.
http://www.kepl.com.au/ - company's winding down, but we still have stock.

I tend to stick to ASCII in these posts. :)

I'm aware of that, but see above, I stick to ASCII where possible. The
