I am looking for alternatives to getting cans of compressed air as they are way to expensive in New Zealand ($30 for a 388ml can)

is a small air compressor safe to use or i can go like Carey Holzman and use a leaf blower

Yeah air compressor should work fine, leaf blower isn't suggested as it may cause static

There is an buyer protection on ebay. (It will protect all orders). If they do not fulfill the order you can get 100% back from ebay.

Make sure to get a compressor with a water filter to stop moisture from being expelled. 

Adults are just kids with bigger wallets.

I use an air compressor myself.  I believe I have my regulator set to 55psi.

As Hammond pointed out above make sure you get a filter also.  It will also be helpful if you hook pneumatic tools up to it later on down the road.
