Has anyone dealt with international price comparison?

It helps to say which part of this you are uncertain about.

Mine went the same way, slower.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. The useful move here is to separate what is established from what is widely repeated. Those two sets overlap less than the confident tone of most write-ups suggests, and the second set is where nearly all the disagreement on this board comes from.

If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.
