We had 16 people at our wedding. Including my wife and I. Those who were there said it was the best wedding they had gone to.

Different prices on the adidas sites from different countries is what makes my blood boil these days.

I was looking to buy the new Run DMC 80s and checked adidas.dk, but I couldn't make up my mind whether to buy or not because the price on adidas.dk was DKK 1,200 (roughly GBP 135) and I could see on adidas.co.uk the price was only GBP 90, which is ridiculous, so I was pissed off over that and didn't buy them. Checked the site later with a promo code that unfortunately didn't work on adidas.dk, but it didn't matter in the end as most sizes were gone again.

Anyway, I can't believe the price difference on the the exact same product on what is basically the exact same site. Just checked the price on something else, which cost DKK 800 (roughly GBP 90) on adidas.dk and only 62 GBP on adidas.co.uk.

And I believe it's the same site because the sizes available are always the same, no matter which country you check, so why the f*ck does it cost almost 50% extra to order from Denmark?

It must be to do with either the taxation levels of your country or the mark up possibly? Or maybe the strength of the pound in relation to the euro, exchange rates....
And they all come from Germany, shipped from, I think, that's where it has always come from hence stock levels the same. Hope that helps Lars

Taxation could very well be part of it I guess, but it still pisses me off – especially since I can't just order directly from the UK website

– and since we're all in the EU I reeeeally don't think prices should differ that much. F*ckin' hell, it's the exact same product from the exact same stockroom. Can't figure out whether to blame adidas or the Danish government. Better blame both, just to be on the safe side...

Hehe, I don't know what it's like in Denmark but over here the government has a lot to answer for! Gggrrrrr
Would start with them!

Can't log on to my Ebay account? Thought I might have entered the wrong password but apparently my account doesn't exist when I try "forgot your password". Has this happened to anyone else? When I google I find that others have been locked out for no apparent reason over the years.

Edit: It works now, but a lot of pissed off ebay user if you do a search...
