Unfortunately for me I just purchased the same ghd peacock straightener for my wife and paid over $269 (which I thought was the cheapest at the time).
Lucky for anyone else who is looking to purchase the same straightener, they are on sale for $255 including shipping through the ebay deals Hair Care Sale.
The ebay store that is selling the items is sydney_salon_supplies. They also have a website that is selling them for $269 and I have confirmed on the ghd official website that http://www.sydneysalonsupplies.com.au/ is a valid and authorised reseller.
