Yeah - they also all said that the prices would rise on Jan 1st when I bought a TV last month.

They just say that to make you rush out and get one.

742192 2009-01-27 06:27:00 Wrong. The $NZ has dropped a lot in the last few months from around US$0.70 to around US$0.55 and will probably go lower on Thursday when the OCR is dropped again.

My supplier has said that prices will rise from 1st of Feb.

Based on that asumption then we are buying everything in US$ or from the US. Kind of strange that when the US$ was down the tubes that prices in the US did not rise like they do here when ever the NZ$ drops.

I resell TVs so I believe my supplier when they tell me there will be a price rise.

Most places where NZ gets most of its electronic goods from trade in $US so it does affect most things we import.
