For those in the US now might be a good time to buy stuff from the UK or Europe if you've been shy about pulling the trigger. The USD is super strong against the pound and the euro (84 cents to the pound, essentially 1 for 1 against the euro) -- but I doubt it will last.

The stronger dollar and quickly rising postage rates have got to be hurting folks in the UK and Europe.

I googled this, I'm not sure it's for real.

It's about half what they go for from legit US sellers, and overtui isn't on the list of sellers from Morgan. https://www.carbtune.com/resell.html I'd be wary.

 I find myself suspicious of everything I see online. I'd rather spend more and actually get one.
