I've no commercial interest here, but in fairness, and
having just purchased almost $11,000 today, the Exchange
Rate I got from Allied Irish Banks was $1.977. Rates over
$2 are generally for much larger transactions running into 6
figures.
So this makes the Ex factory price a tad under £162.00, a
difference of £28.00.
However, were you to pay on your credit card, you would be
more likely to get a rate of around $1.92 - $1.93 to the
Pound, making it around £166. That's what I was getting on
Goldfish and Marbles US Dollar transactions last week.
Now add shipping, Customs Clearance Charges and shipping
from UK airport to supplier, never mind the fact that VAT
has to be paid, and then claimed back, and that £24 - £28 is
very easily and quickly eaten into.
And of course if the Dollar value goes the wrong way,
someone catches a nasty cold.
George.

I've just looked on Google and it's quoted at 2.01189
dollars to the pound
sterling. Taking nice simple easy figures and call it 2
dollars to the pound
the US machine would cost £160 to purchase. But the shipping
would add to
that but I understand the US machine includes a SD card.
This makes the UK
machine unacceptably high which means, once again, we're
being ripped off.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
