You gotta be kidding me....ten and nineteen THOUSAND dollars for a wrap skirt???WOW That's a bit expensive isnt it????? I've been selling tupenu and sulu and kain online for years and never did I charge more than a hundred bucks or so for ONE wrap skirt. wow...I've heard of pricy clothing at the Olympics but that's (in my opinion) really pricy. I don't think even Marc Jajobs charges that much for ONE skirt. :blue:

Er, Skip, you ARE having a laugh, aren't you?

No?

Well in some countries they use a comma where we would use a decimal point. That's why there are only 2 digits after it.
Keep on skirting,

I bought 2 of these and for 10-16 bucks it was a steal......although, the shipping is terrible so make it a larger order.

Dots or comma's, what's the difference? Everybody will understand that only $ 10,00 means 10 bucks and not 1000!
On the European continent we use comma's in stead of decimal points, it is as simple as that. To prevent more comment on my English I edited my post.
BTW Skip, who is Marc Jajobs? :mrgreen:

Janrok, if I may interject - Marc Jacobs is a clothes designer, recently famous for wearing skirts (vaguely kilt-like originally, latterly more imaginative). He can also be seen sometimes with bold pattern tights as well. This is all done in a very masculine way, facial hair et al.

(rapid edit / clarification - just seen the smiley! Ok, so you know who Skip was referring to!)

Ray,
Skip made fun of the fact that I used comma's in stead of dots.
But he made a typo, Jajobs in stead of Jacobs, so I made fun of that in return!
Of course I know who Marc Jacobs is.

Keep on laughing, Jan.
