    Being in England, I can only get a feel for their availability from eBay and a few other sites. They may be plentiful in Australia but I suspect a few titles may be hard to come by even on home soil. There are parallels to the UK price variants - many of those are scarce to non-existent over here, especially for the lesser collected publishers.  Someone is likely cleaning up I'll bet. 

    I'm Australian and collected comics at the time the APVs were issued. They were newstand editions. Collectors back then bought from comic shops and hence bought US printings, newstand copies were frowned upon by collectors back then. I doubt high grade copies of any APV printings exist in high numbers due to the fact kids etc would have been buying the new stand editions and not taking care of them or even keeping them.
