Title: Schoeps price increase
Post by: plucks on April 03, 2003, 12:32:28 PM

 :o
Well, Schoeps announced yesterday that their products have increased in cost from approximately 15-20% as of 4/1/03
The reason for this is the Euro is not very strong against the US dollar or something close to that...I thought that Europe changed to the Euro to make it equal to the dollar!?  anyways, just letting you all know!

nah they changed to the euro so as to be a competing economic force on a global scale.  i guess that means to compete with the dollar, but its a bit bigger than that from my perspective.
