For sure sum sellers are crazy, perhaps he has the Plenue D so high right now as he has a monopoly on it...

Cowon D is going to be 400 AUD, AK Jr is 799 AUD. I know what has my attention more.

I did like my AKJr but I got it for 340 aud which is reseller purchase price value.

I can forget the "C2/D2/D2+/M2"-like hardware features, including the ****ty screen, but if it is still 32Gb with a micro-SDHC slot (=32Gb max), this makes absolutely no sense unless it's below 300$. 50h+ battery when you have a miserable 32Gb capacity: no better than the 4 previous siblings...
 
A&K has done a fine fine job making prices explode for so-called "hi-res" DAPs.
I'm still puzzled how one can sell "hi-res" for 500$+ with anything less than 128Gb. It's not like hi-res music is taking less space, even a modest flac song is 5-6 times larger than the mp3 version.
You can get a 200Gb microsd for less than 150$ but manufacturers still propose 32-128Gb as the standard internal capacity...

Well, that seller's prices were inflated as to all items.  An m2 is about $150 on amazon but it was about $220 on that seller's page.  If the Plenue D ends up around $400, then is the AK Jr at around $410 a better deal? 

i don't think the JR is a better deal in any way ... the battery life - features - size and design - BBE effects and the eq ..... all wins for the cowon except you want to use some  unefficient headphones so it will be the AK ... (and by a small margin as any way unefficient headphones require a separate amp to shine  )

Yeh aus prices can be pretty barmy. I recall minidisc selling the dx90 for $600-700AUD, whereas in usa it's more like half that, it makes more sense to buy overseas in those instances. Other stuff can be more reasonable, such as the M2 is $195AUD which is around the same as a $120-150USD.

The korean manual is confusing because I keep seeing '32gb' pop up multiple times (when talking about the sd card slot), but then the 'Features' page on the korean Cowon site mentions 128gb. I'm still slightly unsure as to what it can and cannot support. Guess we have to wait for the english page...
 
But the fact that a J3 can take a 128gb card no problems (suffice as you stay below the file limit), I don't see why the PD can't also take a 128gb. It does appear to have a slightly higher file limit, tho tbh I couldn't pass 16,000 MP3 files currently so even the old limits are fine for me.

 Which means that also 200GB cards are no problem.

I have a feeling that price is severely marked up.  Based on the Korean price and the Australian price, it should be $260 in USD.

I just want to know how it got on Ebay before it got on their global website.

It looks like a good successor to my J3

How are we knowing it's $399AUD?
