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.
Yes, 50-75% is a lot... and yes, I analized the currencies changes starting by our dear euros standpoint
Interesting stuff BTW, I think we're often in a hurry and untidy and we purchase in the "usual" webshop.... your though push we to think about
