Win8user2013 must be in Australia. Price quoted is in Australia currency.
I am in Canada, the price I ended up paying is quoted by an eBay seller from US.
I think I got a fair price, and I have no complaint. The product is definitely "brand new and unopened" and genuine. I will not hesitate to do business with the same seller in any future purchases.
