The Canadians that visit the site


It would be helpful to know who else lives in the Great White North, certainly make buying/selling/trading gear a little easier without worrying about our good friends at Canadian customs trying to take more hard earned money from us. I'm in Montreal, email addy is jefflo@istar.ca

Hi from Fall River, just west of Halifax. Great thread Jefflo, nice to know fellow Canadians out there in audioland.
Cheers, Mike
Got a question for one of you Canadians, eh? If I were to drive up to PQ from New Hampshire to buy a used piece of audio gear, what would happen when I got to the border on the way home, eh? (Sorry about the "eh" at the end of each sentence - just kidding around. No offence meant, eh) ;>)
Hi Elgordo.
It depends on where the product was made. If it was made in Canada or in the US. and under $3000 USD. there is no charge, except they might get you for a $5 charge for the paper work. If it's over $3000 USD., they will ask you to go through a brokerage firm. Between you and the seller, I'm sure that you can "FIX" the sale price.I'm not too sure how it will work if the piece of gear was made in the U.K. or somewhere else, as all of the pieces that I brought across were made here or in the US. You can also check with US. costoms and I'm sure they can give you all the information you need.
Good luck. Wayne
