I hadn't realized there was that much difference.  I assume you're 
quoting the prices from NZ retailers.  How do prices compare if you 
order online from US/Canada sites (e.g. NewEgg) and pay shipping to NZ? 
  Or won't they do that because the manufacturers only allow them to 
sell to North America?
