Picked up one of these the other day from Bunnings in Cockburn, thought it was not too bad at under $30. Was plenty in stock, though most of them had been moved to the front of the store. As usual, your Bunnings may vary.
Normally $39.94, http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_ltw-28-rail-stai…
It's an excellent price. I've yet to figure out why these relatively simple devices are always so expensive. Maybe it's a volume thing, they're expensive to ship? Dunno!
If you're buying one of these from China direct, shipping is a killer; definitely. I've seen simpler (smaller) models sell for less at one of the big stores, can't remember which.
yes and what makes http://www.clotheslines.net.au/hills-vogue-stainless-steel-a…
so much more than http://www.clotheslines.net.au/hills-ambience-a-frame-airer.…?
Looks very much like:

Except with uncoated rails and different-coloured plastic on the ends with the Bunnings model.
Possibly a variation on the same model.
it's $28.90 so they don't have to price beat $29 at mitre 10 anymore :)

Just got a similar one from target at $22.50 (half price) went to get the hills one posted earlier buy my local target did not have any stock
Edit: this one is definitely better value as stainless steel. The one I got is white
Not worth any more than a non-stainless one, as all the joints are plastic which will go brittle and crack with age.
Anyone seen any that are completely stainless? I've been looking for a couple of years, I'm tired of replacing them every 3-4 years and I'd gladly pay more for one which won't wear out.
This was my concern with the Aldi one too. I almost didn't buy it. Hopefully it holds up.
I have been considering using a single panel of pool fencing from Bunnings, as it is made of aluminium alloy and then powder coated - almost as good as stainless steel. However I'd have to find a way to add legs to it, and the bars are too thick, you can't use pegs on them.
Back to normal price. Just checked north Ryde Sydney :(
that's because the mitre 10 sale is over - try masters instead

That's a very good price as I bought a similar one at BigW at $40 earlier this month.
