Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 9:41 PMThe last time I checked envy 13 was US$1700 and envy 15 was like US$1800. So why is envy 13 more expensive in Australia.
And also the last time I checked the exchange rate for Australian dollar was more than US$0.90
I really hope someone can explain this nonsense.
