Just wondering, how does Timbuk2 determine prices internationally?
With the prices here, a large Timbuk2 messenger costs the equivalent of US$122 at the current exchange rate. Even assuming a US$1~S$1.60 rate(the highest in ~7 years), that's US$112. It makes me wish I had just gotten one off ebay or even bought a bunch from you(would have been cheaper even with the $50+$5 each bag shipping).
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Hey Jag,
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If you are talking about bags you see in retail stores outside of the US, Timbuk2 doesn't determine those prices, the retail stores selling the bags do. We sell our bags to retailers at wholesale prices and provide a suggested MSRP, but honestly, once they buy the bags from us, they can charge above or below our suggested MSRP because it is their bag to sell.
Does that answer your question? -
Inappropriate?I see. Just that prices at the various stores are the same, and the store owner of one of them(not a chain store) said that the price was 'controlled'. I guess I'll have to ask my Dad to get me a couple the next time he goes to America for a conference.
I’m amused
