At today's FX rates: USD$55.77 = GBP£27.57
GBP£16.00 = USD$32.40

Great FX currency conversion rate website -- www.oanda.com (use the FX Converter under Currency Tools, on the left side of the home page, with the appropriate currency codes.

Thanks from me, Sam. What's a tupence among friends?
Say iwantsoapshoes, I'm curious. What's Shiner Ltd. (Heely's distributor for the UK) having the Retailers charge for the Express at point-of-purchase? I'm guessing about £75.00 Is that anywhere close? ---Steve

Haha, thanks for the link though steve, that'll be way eaiser to convert with.

Jul 30, 2007iwantsoapshoes

Steve, how much does it cost total for a pair of express size 12 to be shipped to East Islip NY?

Steve... I hadn't realised how cheap you were selling those Expresses at. You're right at about £75 but a lot of places are selling below RRP at around £65. Back when we were doing all the promo stuff with Shiner just as HSL were taking over the show I remember Charlie saying Shiner were obligated to carry a range of Heelys if they wanted to continue stocking Soap Shoes. Financially it was probably the best decision they ever made. Shortly after that Charlie got a spanking new drop top and Shiner built a brand new warehouse to accommodate extra stock.

Dunk, could you elaborate a little, I'm a little confused about what you are talking about lol. Sorry.

iwantsoapshoes: "shiner is heelys bitch, i consider it tratoirus"

Shiner don't have a lot of choice in the matter. If they want to stock Soap Shoes they HAVE to stock Heelys (at least, that was the stipulation at the time... 2004ish I think?). Charlie (the guy in charge of Soap UK at Shiner) wasn't too hot on the idea but then Heelys hit the big time and made them mucho dollaro and everyone was happy.

oh... and the expresses look so damn cheap to me 'cos the US's economy is going down the shitter meaning we have an awesome $ to £ exchange rate. Hehe.
