US dollar value= Suppressor of Superstar Collecting -
Crystalsicles - 16-06-08
. Gosh it sucks to be an individual looking to shop with US dollars right now. Every shoe that I want to add to my collection, is overseas it seems and the prices are killing me because of how weak our currency is right now. This probably didnt need its own thread, but there were a couple of pairs that I wanted to cop that were "financially" out of my range, due to the ever imposing euro right now. Im depressed.........Im never going to get my damn superstar vins !!!

Must suck on your end, but for us in Europe, it's fantastic.
Buying from North America has never been cheaper and it's a great feeling to see $100 is really £50 or something close to it. That would definitely suck in reverse, come to think of it.

Aye it's great over here. Whats that? Brand new Missy's for £70 you say? Thank you global credit crunch!
(Or whatever contributes to exchange rates going up and down, I don't know much about these things.)

I've always bought from America, partly because of my foot size (12 or 13 depending on manufacturer) and also because of the unique stuff you can get there, and previously it was an expensive procedure by the time customs had boosted the price way beyond what it should've been.
I spent £400 on 6 pairs a few years back on Eastbay and it's great to know I'd be able to get such an amount for half that price from there now.
I've enjoyed buying from Harputs because of the exchange rate. I'd have had to buy much less without it.

Sorry man, I'm on a shoe time-out for a few months.
I've bought 20 pairs since January.. and the other half isn't happy with the space my boxes are taking up. She has a point.. I'm moving things out of the way to make space!
Got to sell a few pairs before I buy any more.
This place has opened my eyes to hundreds of kicks I would otherwise have no clue about. She curses you all for this.

Bollocks to all that Batts! You seen my collection; storage only becomes an issue when you make it an issue!
Tell your other half to get a hobby like this, then she can't complain!!! Either that, or buy her the odd pair every once in a while, that way she'll feel involved and won't mind so much!

i love the current exchange rate. It wasn't so long ago when the CDN$ was only worth USD.65.
Even now, with the currencies around par we still get screwed over on books and magazines and cars.

That or just tell her to shut up and get the dinner on.
Sometimes I wonder why I'm single...

That worked for a bit until she cottoned on.
she asked me the other day why I buy so many and how I get to enjoy a few if every other week there's more and I was a bit stuck for an answer that wuldn't make me sound like a Shoe-megalomaniac
So I kinda agreed to give it a bit of a break. Even though storage is the main issue, but she doesn't need to know that!
