Canadian price on Forum header

Hey BASHMAN

Ànd for something completely different... If it`s fairly easy to change the BASH Forum header, the Canadian exchange rate is about 1 for 1 with US$ nowadays. If it`s not that easy to change, it will be another example of things taking a long time to equilibrate like cars and books...

cheers

PS Just because I create a new topic, shouldn`t indicate I want to close the Superheroics 101 conversation. Heh heh

Well that makes sense- however- in SPITE of the fact that the Canadian Dollar and US Dollar are exchanging equal (for a time, the USD was actually lower) those pesky merchants and manufacturers INSIST on charging higher prices in Canadian Dollars.

It's just like when Gas Prices fluctuate here. When the price goes up, the station owner RUNS to the corner to raise the price. When it goes down, they put adjusting the price off till tomorrow, or the day after, etc.

The price listing on the site is meant to be reminiscent about good old comics- back when they WERE only a dollar ($1.25 Canadian). Having it be "up to date" defeats the purpose of making it old school.

I like the days when 25- to 45 cents got you a comic book.

Of course todays 3 to 4 dollar comics of today look much better and aren't filled with stupic ads for x-ray glasses and mermaid people (not quite sure what those were about). So adjusted for inflation, modern comics are a much better product purchase.

Fair enough.
