AD: Rose Otto, Turkish (Rosa damascena) - 2009 ** Extended

August 3, 2009

Howdy y'all,

Though today is no Ad Day .. the List Mom has given me permission to make this

post.

All of the provisions stated in the original post .. at ..

... except the Drop Dead Date has been moved forward to midnight tomorrow night

... Tuesday, 4 August 2009.

That is why the List Mom has given me permission to post today .. and the reason

why I have moved the Drop Dead Date forward is because a group from one country

wants to do a Co-Op buy and they can't get all their ducks in line until late

tomorrow.

I don't really expect to get additional orders from this group .. the turn out

has been great and appreciated and though there were some new buyers, most were

those who have purchased in the past but still its fair to give you another shot

since I have extended the date.

I'll also mention that I was correct in stating that the U.S. Dollar to the Euro

exchange rate would continue to decline. It has declined 1.5% since I made my

initial offer on 21 July 2009!

Today .. 3 August . One Euro is $1.4408 U.S. Dollars. On 5 March 09 we could

purchase 1 Euro for $1.26 .. today we must pay $1.44 to purchase 1 Euro .. this

14.5% decline in the value of one U.S. $ adds up when we purchase tens of

thousands of Euro. Even an increase as small as 1% can have a very negative

impact on one's profit margin.

This decline is good for European buyers or those who use the Euro .. however,

if any of these folks are holding back in anticipation of a further decline in

the exchange rate .. they will be disappointed because few sellers have a Mother

Theresa mentality .. we will not peg our future prices to the Euro . we will

price according to what we must pay for the Euro. ;-)

There is it .. do with it what you will .. good luck .. and y'all keep smiling.

:-)
