devu ja?

It appears the Wakemantron is back on eBay. One can only guess that the last buyer didn't actually have the $8K they would need to pay for it and get it back home.

The dollar continues to devalue against other currencies.  Today's 
exchange rate at my bank for UK Pounds is $1.97, the worst I've ever 
seen. It makes the price of the wakemantron, including packaging, 
shipping, insurance, and import taxes way too expensive to consider 
at this time.  And, I don't see the trend improving any time soon, 
if ever ...

It's not a good time to be selling a tron now because those of us on 
the dollar standard are priced out of the market and it reduces the 
number of potential buyers ...

Regards,
Jim

You're showing your age. I remember the exchange rate at $2.42 to the pound 
sterling.
So it could be worse. Also I just spent more than that (the Wakeman Tron) 
restoring my faithful Tron of 29 years. Worth every penny.
