Oh, at the current exchange rates, that means that the British pay less than the Americans. The Canadians pay more. We love our northern neighbors, though.  |
Sorry, you have that backwards, a common slip.
The GB pound is heaviest so we pay most (but the quoted price includes tax - VAT at 20%) and the Canadians least.
As you say, price point not international exchange rates.
Though Amazon and others do $1 => £1 on electronics when they can get away with it.
