The Canadians that visit the site

Jeff. Another hello from the west. I also lived not too far down the road from you in TMR. Have been here in Calgary since 88. I search his site a lot but have not bought cross border yet. In fact buy new a lot but as my gear gets to a higher level will soon be forced to buy used. Fyi, I placed a wanted ad once and was really suprised at the number of Canadian guys who responded but whom I had never seen in the forms

Cheers steve

Rphare eh
If I have it right you just pay pst/gst except if product comes from outside USA. Uhhunh .
Although with the Cad. dollar being what it is, the value of Canadian made audio can't be ignored. Our Uhhunh friends are always commenting on this site about what great value Bryston, Paradigm or Sonic Frontiers are eh! However few of them know if they buy in Canada with converted US dollars then the best deals will be found. On an aside, once when we were 19 yrs old we drove up from Middlebury college in VT. with a back seat full of used audio gear. The Canadian customs guy had one look and pulled out a Consumers Distributers catalogue. He started to calculate the duty and taxes based on what our stuff looked like compared to the pictures in the book.
When we told him we had no money for any of that he let us go back into the US to supposedly leave the stuff at a cousin's. Five miles down the road we cut over to a farmers road and made a bee line straight to montreal. What better did we know eh.
