The bottom line is, people want to pay in their local currency and it's all a matter of numbers; e.g. a seller asking for 5,000 euro still gets the same money while offering a potential buyer that pays in dollars a sizable cut.

I totally agree that Dark Blue Sea will be one of the biggest winners. In addition to getting paid in the stronger dollar, I think they can do more modeling and systematic investing because of the size of their portfolio. If they were selling 1% of their portfolio every year, and those sales prices are now up 36%, they can afford to carry more languishing inventory.
