What Does A Stark Salary REALLY Cost YOU

A Stark Salary under my currency (South African Rand) converted to US $ = roughly $110. So $10 more than what a US based player would pay.
Don't get me wrong I understand what with import taxes, inflation, fluctuating exchange rates and other economic factors I'm forced to pay more for the same good. Was just curious as to this price discrepancy in other countries

    We would have been interested to know where you come from and what your local currency is.

    I'm from France, pay in Euros, and a Stark Salary is €89.99 which is NOW $113 but it was worth $122 before the € was devaluated.

    In Switzerland it's 100 CHF so roughly 105$ - not the worst case I guess.

    I've got to a point where I need HP boost (PVP is 0 sum game for me or I come negative with 8h shield, pve gives HP slowly). So I will most likely buy Logan Looneys. Shame I did not make that decision while the anniversary bonus was up.

    £69.99 which is $112.26.

    All moot for me though as I am a free loader.

    I'm from Indonesia and it costs Rp 1,199,000.00 here
    It's around $104 so I guess the difference's smaller than yours.

    Albania at $99. It does not convert to my currency so it uses $ directly.

    We pay the 99.99 US rate and then iTunes converts using exchange rates. Total cost about $112.50
    Incorrect. Check your iTunes receipt and your credit card statement. We get charged $99.99 + GST/HST. For me it works out to $113 CAD (13% HST).

    Edit: Based on today's exchange rate ($1 CAD = $0.89 USD), I pay $100.50 USD total (including tax) for a Stark Salary or $88.94 USD before tax.

    need to factor in the frequent iTunes sales into that

    most people I know always buy the 50 or 100 gift cards on sale frequently for like 40 or 85. Best to wait for those sales (See Best Buy, etc)

    That being said, 100 dollars in NY = about 109 dollars with tax
