The Daily, Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Computer and peripherals price indexes

Statscan has some useful info on the price of computers and hardware in Canada....

More prices on all goods should be dropping dramatically, to compensate for the huge gains in the Canadian dollar.  Everything's for sale on eBay and Amazon in USD right now.

In August, the index for commercial computers decreased 1.4% from July to 34.2 (2001=100). The index for consumer computers also declined, down 1.4% to 14.1.

In the case of computer peripherals, monitor prices decreased 1.0% to 50.8, while printer prices fell, down 0.6% to 47.3.

These indexes are available at the Canada level only.
