I really enjoy there auction result posts! I wish this also showed the price in USD. It's nitpicking I know... keep up the great work!
Rhys,
I hear you. However, we can only show what they publish. If we converted them, someone else would complain that we didn't use the conversion rates... It's a "no win" situation, trust me.
