Thread: Need Help with Price

Hi Gene (somebody had to say it, may as well be me

Welcome to the forums.

I think the US dollar is about 75C Aus.

So just work out 75% of the Australian dollar cost and that's the US dollar equivalent. (Would only be a couple of dollars out, if that)

i.e $352 Aud = $264 US (approx)

Cost of the jig was $272...shipping was $80..this I think as I mentioned was in Austrailian dollars.

Gene,
Welcome, around $272.44 US, all up. This web site is good for currency conversion.

Hi Gene

Welcome aboard - I hope youu enjoy your time here. It will probably take you a little bit of time to get to understand the Aussie sense of humour - you need a thick skin There are a lot of interesting and very knowledgeable characters here.

There is a USA agent mentioned on Gifkins web site: http://www.gifkins.com.au/USAgent.html

which lists the products here:

It might be easier to deal with them.

Welcome!

Hello Gene,

Well...I'm a newby here to since, awhile ago. This is a great site and people who love their craft. Althoough it may take us yanks awhile to be adopted into their family...their warming to us. You, me , Gecko and others...we keep'em laughing

Seriously though...welcome


ICN,

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome.

I did know about Japan Woodworker here in the states but they are not carrying the new improved jig yet. I like the idea of the aluminum instead of the wood frame.

I've only made a couple of boxes and I'll try to find pics of them and post although they are nothing compared to the works you guys and ladies turn out. But we have to start somewhere.

Thanks again for the welcome.

Gene

Welcome mlsa.

Google has a currency convertor built in to their search engine:

http://www.google.com/help/features.html#currency

You can combine it with Google's calculate function to add 272 to 80 and convert the sum to USD. Type:

"(272+80) australian dollars in usd"

into Google to get:

(272 + 80) * Australian dollars = 272.0256 U.S. dollars
