[FONT=&] For those of us in the US, the recent drop in the Pound versus the Dollar has put British products on sale. As I write this, the Pound is trading at $1.3975 and was ~$1.58 6-months ago. A manufacturer of well-known brushes has one of their more expensive offerings priced at £254.95. That is $356.29 in todays dollars, which was $402.82 six months ago. [/FONT]
Unintended Sale?

Manchurian is still out of my reach, unfortunately. The only super-premium I have not yet been able to obtain.
Good to see you on the forum, by the way!

Great point. If a US buyer liked this brush at $403, he should love it at $356, that's an 11.7% discount.
I wonder how this currency adjustment will reflect in British products being offered by USA vendors?
I took advantage of this just two days ago on a Duke 3 Manchurian. Nice time to buy.
Me too! Now am just camping by the mailbox. That was a week ago, so I should only have a couple weeks to go.

Thank you my friend. I used that high priced item as an example, but it of course applies to anything you buy in the UK in local currency.

Holding your breath would be a mistake.
+1 ... At the very least, we have to wait for domestic vendors to sell through their stock on hand. Perhaps their next order from British factories will give us better prices, while still maintaining a good profit margin for the US dealers.
