Hi Pete

It's quite common in Europe to use periods in place of commas and vice versa. In the case of your 307,50 EUR converts to US$259.13.

We in North America are the ones that have it reversed.

I was looking at their web site 'www.zmodel.it' and it looks like they have some nice kits for a good price if I am converting Euros to $US correctly.
The Europeans seem to use comas in places we would use a period.
For instance 307,50 in Euro would equal either $268 dollars or $26,800. I know it's not the 26k but where does the coma go.
I just converted the 307 part.
They would also use 5,5 volts, and I would assume this is
5.5 volts
Strange, I thought decimal points would be the same all over.
Anyone know about this?
