Not for the purpose of this analysis.
A dollar is a dollar. And these are the prices that the
stores are charging in dollars. I have not made any currency conversions.
If the reason for a high price is because a given store has applied a high rate of exchange, it was
their choice. This is still what they are expecting a customer to pay.
Of course, it is possible that in EUROs the differences would change but 75%???
Also, the dynamics of the prices strongly suggest that this has little to do with exchange rates but a lot to do with pricing policy.
