Ugh, I'm sitting on an order for Lemon Energy Baron and Ryugen that'll run me just over $100, due to the cost of EMS, the dog shit dollar conversion and Paypal's ridiculous conversion fee. You guys think that's a fair deal?

If it were Ryugen Yomi is say that price sounds about right. But if you waited it out, you'd probably find a Ryugen for like 1500 like I did. What's the individual price of Lemon Baron?

4500. Ryugen is 2500. Not the best price I've seen for it, which was 2000, but they're in the same store hence combined shipping. But ems shipping is 1860, so it's 8860 altogether, which is like $98, plus whatever Paypal wants.

It just adds up so quickly. If it was even 100 yen to the dollar I'd have bought them no question, but that conversion...

Oh right, you're in Canada, right? Cause I know US conversion is 116 right now

Yeah, the yen is 90 to our dollar I think. 90.7 or something, it fluctuates. It's been this way for a while with no signs of improving. And that's just it, it's in such constant flux, I may pay even more once Mandarake bills me than what I thougth I would once I order, it changes that often.

You can have paypal process the payment in yen and let your bank/cc handle the conversion if it has a better rate. I have a chase credit card which has a 3% fee, which actually makes paypal cheaper. I believe Discover card doesn't have a foreign transaction fee.

I used paypal to pay off an order with AmiAmi on the 11th and the conversion rate was around 87.6 yen per dollar or something. Now whether or not 8860 yen is a good deal for both those figures is probably more dependent on the individual. An average of around $40-50 per figuart is how I gauge its worth. lol

Maybe if you chose registered SAL it would be cheaper? I usually do since I don't mind waiting.

Damn it, that's the exact Baron I planned on ordering next week... ><

*sigh* It's a steal. Go for it.
