I emailed FAD as well a couple of days back. They said they dont have any resellers in my country (India). But they are ready to sell it to me directly. The price they quoted is way too high.
FAD Adagio III 5,980yen + 8,500yen shipping (Thru Fedex) = 14,480 Yen (i.e USD 184) + 45% customs = USD 266 Total Price
Whereas with accessoryjack its USD 74 + USD 10 shipping regular = USD 84 + No Customs = Low cost (Even if customs is charged its will come to USD 122, which is still less then half of what i have to pay if i order from FAD Japan itself.)

Thanks for looking up amazon.jp
I will also look for Shure SE215, incase if cannot get the Adagio III.
That kind of seems like a blow-off answer from Musica Acoustics, as I'm pretty sure Dimitri can get just about any FAD IEM.
The only explanation I can think of is that Jaben has some kind of exclusivity deal or something. I got my Adagio III from Jaben Australia.
As for PriceJapan, no, they aren't ideal in terms of price, but they're reliable and convenient. You could try looking for the Adagio on Amazon.jp, but then you'd need a deputy service to forward it as they don't ship outside of Japan, and the price in that case would probably come out to be fairly similar to PriceJapan and Jaben Malaysia.
Only other suggestion I can think of is international sellers on Ebay.
Otherwise I would send FAD an e-mail and ask if they could point you in the direction of a reseller for where you live. If there is no reseller locally, they might sell to you directly.

The lowest price on Amazon.jp (Japan) is $68.50, so I think $74.00 is a pretty good price.
As MuppetFace suggested earlier, email AccessoryJack (they're based in Hong Kong) as they don't always update their site, though I somehow suspect they may well have this particular model. ALSO, make it very clear it is the Adagio III (not II) that you want -- they may send a quick reply saying they do have them in stock, only to later tell you they thought it was the Adagio II you wanted.
