Thanks to everyone whom has deposited their funds. I've have one malingerer but I know where they live so I can hunt them down

I have placed the order and will let you know the progress.

Thanks everyone, your order was sent out yesterday (my Thursday) and thanks Nick for taking the time to do this. It's been very busy around here even with help we can't seem to keep up. Thanks everyone!

Sooo.... now that the dollar is back above parity, did we manage to order when it was at it's absolute lowest, or just bloody close?!?!

What awesome timing

I guess that's why we're all not getting rich on the forex markets

Cheers,
Dave

I paid Doug just now - I had to remind him

By the looks of it the forex etc cost was $22.05 as PayPal have their own system.
We didn't do too badly, I think it is approx 1.3% more on the US purchase price.

Sounds good. I've had good results by forcing paypal to pay in the local currency of the supplier, and letting my credit card sort out the exchange rate.

Mind you, out of my two cards, Westpac leave Paypal fees for dead

, but my Credit Union card is excellent

Cheers,
Dave

C'mon Doug and Nick, we're not impatient . . . much
