{"ops":[{"insert":"The reason we don’t have currency conversion is mostly due to the fact that storing that much pricing data per currency gets a bit unwieldy pretty quickly. Also, I’m not sure that some of our price sources even provide non primary currency data. If that data is available, I’m not opposed to adding something like that. It’ll just take time. And unfortunately, 95% of our traffic is US based. So it’ll be tough to justify the significant dev resources it’ll take to do this properly, assuming it’s possible at all. \n\nI wouldn’t want to just put things through a currency converter either due to the fear of misrepresenting our price partners prices. For better or for worse, prices can differ from place to place, or the price sources might just be using a different conversion constant, etc. Either way simply changing the look of their prices on their behalf isn’t something I’d want to do. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Most of your sources do already sell to other countries. Can't you apply the same currency conversion methods that they do?\n\nFace to Face Games in Canada and Card Market for Europe might have prices you could use as well.\n\nAs for currency converters. TCGPlayer themselves suggest people ouside of the US use a currency converter. They have a link to xe.com on their site or that reason. At a minimum TCGPlayer could be converted. I have apps to scan and track my collection that automatically configures to TCGPlayer converting to CAD.\n\nThey might be stupid ideas. I'm just throwing it out there.\n"}]}
