Hey, now I wonder about this. With the decline of the US Dollar and the Loonie rising higher than 10 years ago, why haven't we seen a big drop in priceds on goods imported from the States? You'd think prices would continually be dropping as the Dollar and Loonie changes- even on Apple products (?)

apple resellers have inventories that need to be protected. imagine if, as a reseller, you ordered product from the states for x dollars, and the next week the price dropped by an amount greater than your profit margin. you'd be screwed.

i think this could be the reason though i have no experstise in this area. perhaps someone elso could comment with more authority.
