This is a run-out model (replaced by the VPL-EX70 and VPL-EX100), currently on sale at the Sony Central store at World Square, Sydney for $999 (was $1499). So, if Sony themselves were offering it for that sort of coin, I suspected I could probably do better….

Price-check:
$719.10 on Shopbot http://www.shopbot.com.au/m/?m=VPL+EX7&order=hl&p1=&p2=
$776.00 on StaticIce http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Sony+VPL+EX7+-l…
So…. $622 at HT looks like a solid bargain to me - especially when you consider the original $1499rrp
