Trying to buy when the dollar is up is not unlike waiting for the next generation in technology to hit the market, it never happens
AEC vary their Tak prices daily based on A$/Yen movements, I was interested in a Tak scope and I couldn't resist the lower A$ price when the A$ hit 104 yen about eight months ago.

If a retailer had stock on hand which they had bought at lower A$/US rates then I could see where they get squeezed selling now (though the reverse will apply for stock bought now and sold when the A$ drops), but many of the larger scopes are only ordered by the retailer when an order is placed by a customer and there is no justification for not applying the current rates.
