When I bought the Axioms 1€ was worth about 1,26 $. Today 1€ has a value of about 1,35 $. This is a difference of slightly over 7%, and well below inflation rates in both the USA and Belgium, so there should not be any increase in price.
Furthermore, in June and July of 2008, when the US $ exchange rate was down to about 1,6 $ for 1 € (-27%), there was no discount.
BTW : two years ago, I dealt with Axiom directly, while bargaining for a decent price (at that time they only had prices in $ and their knowledge of overseas P & P , (and import taxes)was far from perfect,and maybe a bit amateurish,...but very friendly and likeable. Now they seem to have become another Big Company. Come on Axiom, proove me wrong.
