Australia - Where to buy parts?

This is a question to all Aussie based users: where are some good places to buy PC parts, both new and second-hand? Links would be much appreciated.

 

I'm from NZ but will be visiting Melbourne, Sydney, and the Gold Coast in just over a week. I'm mostly looking for a new GPU, probably a 6GB 1060 and if I can find one significantly cheaper than at home I'll probably pull the trigger.

 

Also what's your second hand market like? I'm assuming crap but not as crap as ours due to the larger population.

If you are looking for anything second hand Gumtree is definitely the place to go

For new stuff I have been using umart for over 15 years without any problem. I moved to a regional area recently and there has been no delivery dramas either.

 

MSY came up on this forum recently for their second big fine from the ACCC (consumer affairs) for illegal warranty practices so I would avoid them for the time being.

 

Not sure about second hand tech tho since I don't trust second hand tech.

Thanks for the info guys.

 

According to Wikipedia I can also get my GST back upon leaving the country so that's about a $40 discount right there.
