lee valley pricing

Has anyone else noticed price swings {up and down and up again} online at lee valley's website? Prices also vary from 2016 catalog compared to online.:confused::confused:

It probably has to do with the Canadian dollar fluctuating against our dollar. Right now the Canadian dollar is worth 72 cents against the US dollar.

I put a spokeshave in my cart today and by the time I came back to the site maybe a hour latter the price jumped from $95 to $109.

You might want to check what currency that amount is in. I've noticed that their website "forgets" what country I'm in and gives prices in Canadian dollars sometimes. There is a button at the top of the page to set your country (and thus the currency).

What mark said.
If you look at that spokeshave in US dollars it is $95, Canada dollars $109
