Yeah flash sites are nice, might be a little bit expensive though.
There is a lot of work involved in doing a site yourself, But if you have your site made using a content management system you’ll be able to modify it yourself easily without needing to pay someone each time you want it changed. (it’s at least worth considering)

Lol, chainsaws no good either?

I think they could be worth while in Australia. A lot of people here have wood fires, And the cheapy brand ones are selling for about $130 Au on eBay.

Case Study for Petrol Chainsaws... (purchasing from smallvolume.com)

3xCartons (6 units) US$263.23
Service Fee US$40.41
Shipping cost: US $117.14
Subtotal: US $420.79

Import Duty 10% (guessing)+ GST 10%: US $84.15
Total US$ 504.95 = AU $600
Sell for AU $130 * 6 units = $780 = $180 profit , less eBay fees.

= 30% return on investment (less eBay fees)

Appears viable unless I’ve under Estimated my import Duty/tax ?

Well... except for my little logistics problem, lol
I'm about 460 km away from my closest seaport
