Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada


Anyone has ever bought used audio equipment in person in Canada and took it back to USA ? What is the cost associated with that. What taxes do you pay at the border ? What if you paid cash ? 
Thanks !

I drove a pair of UK manufactured ProAc speakers through U.S. Customs on the border between British Columbia and Washington state. The Customs agent had absolutely no idea how to deal with the situation. She spent at least fifteen minutes looking through lists of equipment trying to match what I had with something in their lists. She finally settled on a figure that had absolutely nothing to do with either the original cost or what I was paying for them.I paid it and fled.
