Thread: E. Peter, Paris (7-day set)

E. Peter, Paris (7-day set) on French eBay site.

Item nr. 230264461227

Looks like a nice set... I'm almost broken (RAD hit hard the two last weeks) but maybe I'll try to get it for cheap as the seller is not wanting to sell it out of France (happily I have family living in Alsace )

Are the commas supposed to be periods? if not that is mighty expensive almost 8 grand US.

Yes, in Europe we us commas instead of periods.
Like this: € 1.000,- (= thousand Euro).

The dash (-) indicates that there are no cents involved.

Otherwise it would be something like this: € 1.000,95 (= thousand Euro and ninety five cents).

We have a third way to write numbers: You can also write the thousand with a <'> i.e. 1'ooo. So, 1'000.95 is thousand and ninety-five cents.

But usually on Ebay Europe (I've checked France, Belgium, Italy, Germany and Switzerland), prices are written as Joelski78 just said, but not always... for instance on Ebay England they use the same system as in the US... so it is not a "Europe" question, or not completely (Switzerland is not part of the EU but use the same monetary writing, but England is part of the EU but doesn't follow it... don't ask me why).

Addendum: This is the constantly nagging wife responsible for the linguistic saltos of everyone around: Euro's is wrong twice. Plural is Euro and in no language known to me does a plural -S have an apostrophe in front of it Nagging Wife (proud member of the 'Fight the Idiot Apostroph in all languages' Front) over.

P.S.
Do NOT let SWMBO near your computer... sorry

Thanks Ockham for your corrections

Reading back my post a made a few silly mistakes.
