It probably has nothing to do with the conversion rate. Compare prices (of non-food goods) in a small country to a larger country, in a small town compared to a large city. The larger the market, the more competition between sellers, availability of market information and alternate suppliers, etc. Internet sites have changed the landscape a bit, but not so much as to change the longstanding differences between relatively larger markets versus relatively smaller ones. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78389 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
