 Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2007 2:58 pm Post subject: Parts pricing question. |
 |
|
The Canadian Dollar is close to on par with the US dollar, so why
aren't electronics parts closer in price? I know the suppliers don't
track everyday prices with the dollar, but if I order a 239111 flyback
at Vance baldwin in the USA, it lists at $ 59.99 USD, & it's $ 92.78
Can at Global? A red CRT for an ITC222 52" RCA rear projection, is
almost the exact price USD at Vance, that it is at Global Canadian.
Explain? Dani. |

My local "Big Name" grocery sells a gallon of PET milk for $5.99
(US dollars) and the "Big Name" Drugstore directly across the
road (approximately 100 yards or 100 meters) sells the same PET
gallon with exact same expiration date for $3.89 (US dollars)
Explain that and i can probably explain your's ?

Everything is sold at what the market can bear - not some magic percentage
figure above manufacturing and distibution cost.
You're probably luckier in Canada than the UK - here most things cost the
same in gbp as they do in US dollars, despite the pound being valued
currently at double the dollar.
