I live in the USA and I'm having some trouble. As much as I'd like to buy things from you, I don't know how much they cost. If you could post up how much each item costs in American Dollars, I would love to give my money to you.

It would also be nice if they would show the price including VAT for EC customers. I'm a potential British customer and £10 looks OK for a T-shirt. But when you take VAT into account (which is calculated AFTER the postage and packing has been added!), the price goes up to nearly £13, which I'm not so happy about.

Sorry about that I just looked into it more deeply and the conversion rate is 1 Pound equals about 1.444459677 Us dollars

Yes!
What Gort said! Mara has this problem as well! And it doesn't make her at all bloody happy! (Mostly because she wants a cute little tight-fit t-shirt. And is now bitter about the fact that she can't convert pounds into bloody dollars. Because she... well... yes... And she's talking in third person. and that's never a good sign.)

Here is a currency converter. There are lots of others, but this one is about the easiest to use.
