There is a Matrix for sale up in Muzz's neck of the woods.

What's the deal with these things, were they a sort of budget Ovation in the '70s?

Yikes. I think that critter is priced about the-edge-of-the-envelope, but they're pretty good instruments, all-things-considered. Just be careful with the fret-wear in the "money frets" (1st three-or-four), cuz they can't be refretted, short of sophisticated milling & machining.
Looks pretty nice, though.

Prices are a bit higher here than in the US. Which is why AJ buys just about everything (or was it everything?) from overseas.

No have bought several here :D

It's really more the choice and availability in the US.

If you take into account the cost of shipping the going prices here are probably fairly reasonable.
Just limited choice.

The cost of shipping a deep bowl acoustic from the US is now close to $500. :(
