maybe the Australian dollar went down in value, thus making it cheaper in actual terms?

From our end of the spending, it would have to go up in value. I'm not sure that it is relevant to the consumer though, as the importer-to-retailer price list is published annually, so fluctuations are on the Importer's end (I imagine the importer pays the price for the order depending on value of dollar the day the order is raised, although it may be on the invoice date)

Silly "saving" image aside, that is not a bad price locally for a Rebar (assuming the seller is a real seller that has them in stock and not some mystery online reseller than doesn't actually stock anything, and has no capacity to deal with after sales service/warranty)

And I thought paying $92.95 Canadian for a Rebar was expensive.  :facepalm:

That equates to about £55 GBP, so cheap  :ahhh

Here in the UK a Rebar still goes for about £65 ($111 CAD) if you look around, and that's for the SS model!

You can find them cheaper but postage can easily add £10+
They don't like it up 'em!

I wonder how much of those are due to tax and how much is the profit margin by the local distributor.  Btw, I just went to Amazon US and saw Wingman and Sidekick are now both 60usd?  That's also pretty crazy...considering they were only 20-30(IIRC).

£73 for a Sidekick ($95 USD)  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

I couldn't find a Wingman (on Amazon) but it was only a brief search  ;)
