Quoted from flashinstinct:In 2010 you could get a brand new Ironman for under $4K. Jump 5.5 years and the price as now jumped by 25-40%. I don't know about you but inflation (or whatever you want to call it) does not go up that fast.
Currency exchange does change that fast. It changed 30% over the past year alone. Hardly Stern's fault.
You have to stick with US pricing if you want to complain about Stern's price increases, to keep it apples to apples.
