Is it time to buy that brush from Europe?

It wasn't that long ago that the rate was US$1.50 to €1.00, it's all relative.  Right now the US$ is still pretty strong, but as we approach the November elections there is no telling which way and how much the dollar will swing.

The one thing I have learned when buying products from other countries is to not fixate on the conversion rate.  If it seems like a good price to you in US$, just buy it.  The price may go down later, or it may go up.  But if the price works for you when you buy it, that's what matters.

I agree with you.  If the price is what you can afford and you want it buy it.  Just remember, the up and downs of the markets.  It is not as bad as the odds of winning the lottery but it still exists and a very large purchase can reflect that.
