Well, the advertised price doesn't include sales tax, which will be anywhere from 5 - 10% depending on the state. I checked the current exchange rate (7/15/2010) which was $1 to .6504 . so the exact same price is roughly 109 (hey! I don't have a British pound sign on the keyboard! We used to have them! when did they disappear?).
Don't you guys have VATs that get hidden in the prices? Could that account for the difference?
