In each market's own currency the cheapest listings read €15.94 in the EU, US$21.12 in the United States and C$29.99 in Canada. Conversions use indicative exchange rates, and postage, duty and import tax are not included, so a cheaper market elsewhere is a fact about listings and not a reason to import.
