hey,

so i was in my local skate shop and i found these sick goggles . there the 09 dragon rogue. they were priced at 175. i was looking on the internet to see more info on them. i was on the dragon website and i noticed that u could buy them right from the site. i thought i would see how much they were. and they were 130! so wtf is my shop just ripping me off, cuz it would seem that the dragon site would have the actual retail price. i know shits cheaper on the internet, but off the actual site it should be what it is in stores. so is my shop just being super duper lame and fucking me over? your thoughts

thnx



key notes.

goggles were 175 at shop
found them on the dragon home website for 130
is my shop fucking me over?

wow. All around just a great post...

The exchange rate is basicly even right now, and the canadian dollar was worth more for a while Mr. Informed. Learn to type and string together some actual sentences that make some sort of sense.

Wow ur a fucking douche bag.

The canadian dollar is trading around .83 cents US which would make those goggles around 160 in Canada plus the markup for transportation and the fact that everything costs more in canada would make 175 not such a rediculous price for a canadian.

her Mr. Informed Number 2, maybe you ought to pay a little more attention to the fact that the Canadian dollar is currently around 80 cents US, and was around 70 not even a week ago. or have youjust been a little less informed about everything since the economy imploded?

if you go on the site and choose canada as ur location, theyre prolly still going to show you the price in american, and itll be up to your credit card to make ammends for the exchange rate.
