price drop was fairly recent. when it was $200 a bucket there were people selling for $150 a bucket on trademe. now it's $156 at hollywoods (and you can get a further discount with fnzas membership). in my mind, if your in the auckland area and not paying for shipping it makes sense to buy it from hollywoods. it's only an extra $25 a bucket and there's no risk of anything going wrong with delivery (yes it's rare but stuff does happen).
