    Question lee valley pricing

    Has anyone else noticed price swings {up and down and up again} online at lee valley's website? Prices also vary from 2016 catalog compared to online.

    It probably has to do with the Canadian dollar fluctuating against our dollar. Right now the Canadian dollar is worth 72 cents against the US dollar.

    I put a spokeshave in my cart today and by the time I came back to the site maybe a hour latter the price jumped from $95 to $109.

    You might want to check what currency that amount is in. I've noticed that their website "forgets" what country I'm in and gives prices in Canadian dollars sometimes. There is a button at the top of the page to set your country (and thus the currency).

    What mark said.
    If you look at that spokeshave in US dollars it is $95, Canada dollars $109

    I was in Canada last weekend, and my $95 was worth $125.
