Hi, I'm in the market for some new wheels, most probably FFWD F4R tubular.

On Sunday I looked at Starbike had F4R tubular with DT350 for £897, yesterday they were £10xx something, today they are £895.

Exchange rates can't have fluctuated that much, anyone know what's going on?

All these will lead to (potentially) different VAT levels being applied. Plus a bit of currency drift (895 to 897 would be about right)

I get this all the time.

One thing to add then, glasses on/glasses off?

I get that sometimes too.

Tell me I'm not somehow switching between GBP and Euro?!

This is embarrassing.

At the bottom of the page, there is a checkbox for VAT. See if that's checked or not.

dynamic pricing could be the answer. not all retailers use it but it is becoming more common.

That's 100% correct. Also at bottom site there are currency settings.

However, daily changing prices are also very common as a gross of our item portfolio is sourceable through different suppliers with different prices and daily changing availability (this is being synchronized automatically on a daily basis).
