I did. I streched until I went from 5'4" to 5'4 3/4". I could sort of stumble my way through some of the words. I stopped when I noticed that the web material had last been updated, sometime in 2004. I figure that there was bound to be a price increase. And <sigh>, while I don't mind working to get information, it seemed that it was too easy for me to make a mistake and order the wrong thing, and/or pay for the incorrent item.
As long as it depends on cotton yarns (last modified: Feb 24, 2004)
there was no price increase until 2006.
But since Jan 1st, 2007 there's a tax increase, so called
"Mehrwertsteuer" from 16% to 19%. I don't know, if Traub changed prices
for that. And I don't want to wake up sleeping dogs and get them
modifying their websites to new and maybe much higher prices.
A good friend of mine has worked there for some time and she told me
that Friedrich Traub died one or two years ago and he was the one who
did all of the website work, run the shop, etc. So there's been a hard
time for his wife to learn how to run the shop. Therefore the website
was unmodified for a long time.
We don't have anything to complain about our orders. They arrived within
a week (from Stuttgart to Aachen, Germany) and are always complete and
correct.
If you'd care to go over and read what the web site says, and let us non-German
speakers know how to order from the vendor that you recommended, I will gladly
send you some chocolate next Tuesday.
I'll be glad to help with translation or placing an order, if you have
any question.
