Not quite correct.The U.S. $ has slipped, but not that much!!
An Aussie $ will cost you about $US 0.75. 50% more than a couple of years
back but still a good deal.

You are correct. In the last few moths the dollar has dropped against
the pound and euro. Parts from England or Australia are going to cost
some money.

Remember the suppliers in the states are getting these parts from
England and the prices are going up in the states as well.

I haven't done any out of states parts buying for 3 years and just
tuned into
the currency exchange charts and about fell off my chair.
We were able to buy Ausie. parts for .50 on the US dollar 3 years. Now
it
looks as though it has gone the other way and worse, 1.32 on the US
dollar.
Meaning less parts for the same dollar. Am I reading this chart right?
Seems like a much better deal now to just buy in the states.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, not really a financial guy.
Thanks, Mark
