Wrong choice of words on my part

The exchange rate has little bearing on product prices, as manufactures price their products on what they believe the customers of a particular country will accept.

This is why there is about a $3000 price difference when converting � - $ and Kr - $ as your country is more affluent then the UK and so will accept higher prices.

Yes I know it�s not fair, but that�s how manufactures work. (Exceptions are the Euro zone which tends to be more tightly regulated, but even here there can be quite a number of variances)
