The price of "things"

Hi all,

With the Greenback on the skids things have been getting more reasonable when buying in the USA. Not that it helps the local merchants … but they don’t seem to stock what I want anyway, so there’s no big loss.

However apart from the general hobby items, there are the books and mags! … to get straight to the point … apart from GRR and MRR mags I also buy a few others i.e. photo and video mags. Interesting proposition is what Wal-Mart does: any mag or book that lists a USA cover price one can get at the USA price in Can$. So I get the Vid and Cam mags at a good price

Which reminds me; Clambake in their wisdom discontinued listing the USA price on their mags and the Can$ cover price is still “same old, same old”. One more reason that it will be a frosty day in July when I buy a GR or MR. Of course that it just my cheap skate attitude! :wink: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Oh yeah, got another parcel from RRS, some more Kadees to keep on working and smiling! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: And all kinds of other goodies to keep the projects moving along! pictures at 1/25th the usual ASAP. (Chris, that was a splendid idea!!)

Glad to have been of service. Now, where's my electron microscope?
