Does Anyone outsource (Buying out side Australia) alot?
Has anyone had problems, and is it a good idea?
I recently Spent $250 on Hyper wheels (is it me or is that alot of wheels!) from the USA does any one else do that?
Btw is it worth buying Slayer bars and Proto wheels when Wee gets in stock (with the rates, postage and all)?

The time is right to buy from america when our dollar is worth anything OVER 80 cents american.
That way you will 95% of the time get it cheaper than what you do here.
I outsource ALL of my shoes and most clothes, as i save over 50% because the big name brands here are like k-mart brands in England etc.

Please don't lie to me.
The Australian dollar has NEVER and will never be stronger than the American dollar.
The only way this will happen is if America is in that much serious trouble and their econonmy quite literally dies, but this would cause Australia's economy to go down with them anyway, so i seriously doubt we'll ever be stronger than the American dollar, regardless.
 
outsourcing is good, just not right now. origianlly i was going to be able to sell the buff bars for around $60 australian but because the aussie dollar is sooooooooooo weak i had to raise the prices and instead of it costing (i think, can't remember) $50 now it is $80. sooooo yeah.

I recall my economics teacher telling me that at one point the Australian dollar was slightly above the US$ although this was in the past, but what your saying can be seen with the current periods of economic downfall, our dollar has gone down due too our economy slightly receding due too the economical state in the US
