Why is Butterfly so expensive?

Butterfly is expensive because it all always made in Japan and not China. The quality control is extremely high in all Japanese products. The other reason is that tenergy rubbers in particular cannot be matched for the quality of spin and speed in looping by any other product.
So they hold a monopoly on the pay for the quality you get.

The exchange rate hurts even more

The USD is at at 15 year low against the YEN.
spend or not
Before the flood I would have said it is a great time to travel to the US, and the Australian dollar is so strong, but now I am very concerned not just about exchange rates. I am worried about my job, because I rely on overseas tourism. Certain sectors of the job market will have a huge boom now, others such as mine... mmm I am worried about spending money unless I have to. And this attitude will see the Australian economy die.

There was going to be a SawTech show in Brisbane

Now I wonder if there is going to be a show.
We are still interested in AU and are looking for a distributor for our products. I think we have a distributor lined up. I think the wood industry MAY be boom because of the rebuilding but after Katrina there wasn't a big boom. The catastrophe was so severe that many didn't have the money to rebuild and others just walked away. There may be NO boom and that would be even worse. Much of New Orleans is still in ruins but I have been to the French Quarter ( in 2010 ) where the tourist go since Katrina. That part was never hurt and the infrastructure to support the tourist industry was given a priority.
