Gibbage, that's a nice strategy. Well done. KNau: This was partially joke (just partially ;) - perhaps people are buying more, and you can always raise prices if you want.

I used to be able to count on an extra 30% on my royalties when I convert from US dollars to Canadian. Now I'm down to an extra 10% and shrinking. I've been considering opening a US dollar account and just keeping as much money as possible in it until sometime (possibly in 2008) when the US dollar recovers. I know how you feel.

It's also become quite a funky little catchphrase in its own right -- people were even using the 'ish' bit in the reviews. It's fixed to the pound, which means a copy will currently set you back $11.48 in the states... that's quite the leap in just a year.

Basically every time I see a dollar figure I half it. I didn't used to have to do that. Oh well, just means it's easier to become a millionaire equivalent in dollars if you make your money in pounds.

If the money you would lose on the exchange rate makes up for the loss of sales by customers who are put off by seeing a "Euro" price, then it's worth it. Here’s a thought: sell everything in Euros.

Regarding Europe sales: I suppose we would need to get data from portals to make sure it would be statistically accurate information... Yeh, naturally.

I wonder if anyone can provide evidence that sales from europe have increased as the currency got stronger? OK, it still sucks when you move your paypal dollars across :( I suppose its best to think positive… some of your euro buyers are perhaps new buyers, rather than you ‘losing’ 2 pounds from an ‘existing’ buyer.
