SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 06/21/2015 10:16 pm From experience, Australian errors seem to command a healthy premium, over similar errors from other countries. I would suspect an error like that to be more than double your estimate Sap, my first guess was $500 to $600, in my humble opinion.
