OK!! Tiger, how do I go by in order with you?
1. MX-980 is $600 USD, not $500 USD
2. $775 CAD is not TWICE $500, not to mention you should
compare $775 CAD to $600 USD. Yes, I can see USD value
is declining and other curries are getting stronger.
However, my last acknowledge that 1.04 CAD to 1 USD.
I wonder where the "TWICE" came from which school?
3. As a Canadian, do you ever wonder why things are more
expensive while we can purchase them cheaper here in US?
Per instance, six pack of Moson Beer only a shy over
$6.00 - How much does it cost in Canada?
A friend of mine lives in Toronto considered a carton
of cigarette as brick of gold when I bought for him from
duty free shop here before got to US - Canada border check
point. So, my conclusion to the high cost are taxes,
taxes....
Another friend bough a Nikon D3 here in US to take it
with him on his new job being assigned in Japan. He said
that these are more expesive in Japan.
Tiger, I don't have any intention to blast at you; however
good luck and hope your next purchase go more smoothly.
I'm not mad at you indigo I'm just sick of paying to much because I live on the north side of the lines...
1 - I really though the MSRP for the MX-980 was 500$.
2 - I meant twice just because I compare 775$ + 15% + shipping (25$) = 916.50$ I though 500$ + 6% (that's how they usually charge me on ebay for tax) = 530$. I was wrong but from my earlier point of view it was pretty damn close to double.
3 - A six pack of molson cost arround 12-14$ (I never buy beer in six pack) 12 > 20$
24 > 28$ try to find the logic? I know we are overtaxed but what can I do?
Last year our dollar was about 75 cents it's now almost even (and got stronger than US, 1.10$ at some point) and we still pay a ridiculous prices on cars, electronics, DVD, etc...
No wonder some folks go get their car (and other stuff) in the US now.
Don't want to get an issue with none of you but, I had to explain my point.
Thanks,
Gui.
