For those of us in the USA, look up the current conversion rate of usd to euro before you purchase anything. The prices on frontier's website are not current. I don't know if they are a day or so behind but right now the usd is almost 1:1 to euro and this is not reflected in their pricing.

The £ currently equals 1.42 Euros, so it's not an equal exchange, and the £ currently equals 1.51 US Dollars.

At the moment, Elite is on sale for £9.99 or $14.98, while the actual exchange rate would put it at $15.11, so...

Yes but that does not explain the Euro exchange rate unless it is behind. For those of us invested in the euro anyway...

As Kristov has stated products are priced in Pounds Stirling, so are converted from Pounds to Dollars or Pounds to Euros, not Euros to Dollars.

US products converted to pounds nearly always use a conversion which has nothing to do with the exchange rate and more to do with how much more they think they can charge in the the UK. This has happened for decades. Just saying.

Elite is a British product originally priced in £, not USD or Euros, so...huh?

Yeah, you can check the actual exchange rate on websites like XE.com, but pay for something in a foreign currency on Paypal and your exchange rate is never as good.
 

EUS

EUS
As it stands, of the 3 (USD, Euro, Sterling Pounds) anyone purchasing today (whether from Europe, US, or Britain) (used Cobra skin as an example) should do so in Euros, as the store seems to be giving a discount to that currency.
