I Wish the USD and AUD were closer together

a few months ago i enjoyed the bliss of having AUD$1.00 equivalent about USD$0.96. life in general and online purchasing was sweet then.

now it is like AUD$1.00=USD$0.83....

which makes a USD$299 guitar cost AUD$360..... thats not far off $400! doesnt have the same charm as $300.....

just a rant

Yeah, that really seems to kill you guys out there. Maybe it would be cheaper for you to vacation to the US and just take stuff back with you and sell it for profit and keep some of it!

No, our currency already fell way down and just made a slight rebound. It's still very much down overall.
