It says $15 for those knight fellows, but I suppose it might get closer to $20 with shipping.

Yea, he was saying that it is unfair that it costs the equivalent of $20 in Europe when people in the US can get it for $15. This is without shipping. They have to pay an extra $5.

An extra 5-fucking-euros.

That is a bit silly, considering the manufacturer is closer to Europeans than Americans.

Oh it's not?
Funny, because from what I can see, one U.S. dollar is equivalent to 0.760051684 Euros. Therefore, fifteen U.S. dollars is equivalent to 11.4007753 Euros.
So twenty Euros would be 26.31400 U.S. dollars. Pretty sure that $26 is bigger than $15.

and precisely that is what is upsetting pesgore, because instead of calculating the exchange rate, they simply substitute the $ sign with the € sign and stopped at that.
thus resulting in a single set that costs $15 (€11.40) in the US and €15 in Europe.
which he finds unfair.
Act first, then think, then try to find a way to cover up the horrible mess you made.

Yes, you were saying that they were not in a one-to-one ratio, but you had it backwards.
