 		 #182837 - Ripping off the Kiwis?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Michael Karas said:
The linked element14 site has an extremely high price for that SiLabs USB debug adapter. Even if the shown price is in NZ Dollars at the current exchange rate it is putting the price at about 88 USD.

You can buy them all day long at SiLabs, Mouser and Digikey for 35USD.


The price here at Farnell (which is Element-14) is GBP 30.03:

That converts to USD 48.11

It's long been a grievance here that we get ripped-off on the dollar conversion - but clearly not nearly as bad as in NZ!!
