US Dollar - Act Now, While Supplies Last!

heyydude · 21st September 2007, 23:04

Some recent facts from the BBC....

• The greenback has hit fresh lows against the euro at $1.4120
• It fell below one Canadian dollar for the first time in more than 30 years
• One British pound was worth $2.0173 at one point, close to 26-year highs
• The falling dollar pushed up spot gold prices to $739 an ounce, not seen since 1981
• Since September 2003, the US dollar has lost about 25% of its value against sterling

Oh my goodness, sounds like an EXCELLENT time to be picking up those wonderful, INEXPENSIVE American Goods, like:

Hammerheads
Optima's
HammerMegs
CopisHammers

And even...:

Megalodons
Dive Rite Gear
Anything from Jakub (Golem)

Wow, I sure wish *I* was from Europe, and had all that Greasy Euro Money to rub in some American Manufacturer's Face!!

Heh, heh...

After you spend big bucks on all those inexpensive American toys head over to Tech Diving Limited and get all of your analyzers, hoses, gauges, and accessories that are always at great American - Go Yankee prices.

Cheers

Canadian news said Americans are paying little attention to the falling greenback but people selling to foreign markets should be paying very close attention. Now is a very good time to "buy American"

Jeeze, now I'm gonna have to convert my stinkin' dollars to Euros before I buy an rEvo so I can get the better Euro price.

Dont forget Advertising from and about Sponsors only - if people make money out of the community via Rebreather World then they should support it, just like these 2 outstanding gents!

It'd be fun if the Arabs started pricing/selling their oil in euros per barrel

Mdemon · 22nd September 2007, 09:52

Yeah, buy American, get a great price and then get gang-raped by Customs & Excise and the Post Office as it lands on the doormat back in Blighty.

Stuart, how about a private "shopping list" thread to take advantage of all you party-goers jet-setting off to DEMA?

The fact that the dollar is collapsing faster than the Somalian Shilling won't worry those inside the USA until it all comes home like the pre-war deuchmark.

There are a lot of similarities but, I hope, enough differences to make that a bad analogy.

Don't worry, Nigel. I'm told we're outsourcing the printing of US Money to China anyway - WalMart got us a good deal...
