all i know is my BLRO i bought in the UK cost over 1k USD less than i would have paid in the US because i am based in USD but it was priced in GBP. That includes the 20% VAT i paid, since i didn't get a refund. Its out of wack and it's no wonder that everyone wants to buy here

Ultimately its an increase for GBP based customers as it costs more than yesterday in pounds, but globally, its not an increase as its still priced less than other countries but getting closer.
