    So the question is do I hold off buying things waiting for the dollar to rise again...

    or do I buy buy buy before the dollar drops even more??

    Okay lets stir the pot here

    Yay for dropping interest rate charges!!! In all honesty it kinda tears me in two. Yes our dollar drops so things from overseas are now more expensive but I do have a whopping mortgage and this helps me in that regard.

    The next rate dropped is pegged to be in November Paulbot, so you have till then before the AU$ drops to US$0.75 or something!

    I'm very glad I got my Encore Omega from Fatbot instead of doing a big RK order, also looks like trying to find DBZ cards from the states is going to have to slow down too. Bugger.

    Depends. It should bounce back early next year, but if there are things that won't be around that long, buy them now.

    I'm glad the rates dropped even though buying stuff from overseas will be more expensive. However, for those of us with a mortgage, I'm sure the money you save on your mortgage is more than what you'd pay for stuff overseas so its still win/win in some regards.
    If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you
