US Dollar vs Euro
You probably aren't going to see any difference until the paid for inventory in North America has been used up.0 -

Stainless steel?
Didn't the price of stainless steel shoot up recently though? zThere was an error rendering this rich post.

I think it has more to do with supply and demand. There was a post here about a year or so ago, if memory serves me, that was on about how the price for a vito200 was about 1/2 the price in Europe, compared to NA. Huge market there, i.e. competition and volume, tiny market here.
I don't expect the prices to drop much, unless Europe falls into a depression.0 -
Good point, Tim
but some American mod-con makers are having serious problems. For the latest, go here:

It's not fair to our customers to make them pay to serve as beta testers.
Also, don't forget that in Europe, mod-cons are typically replaced every 5-10 years rather than being repaired. So the basic mod-con design reflects this. It is totally opposite to what American customers expect from their equipment.All Steamed Up, Inc.
