I keep all my options open and consider every aspect of a purchase before committing. A smart shopper compares options. If I can spend $500USD plus shipping at our current dollar rate it comes out to under $600CAD. If I can get a $1000+ CAD scope off Ebay for under $600 give or take customs excise, don't you think that'd be a good deal?
Our dollar is so good right now it's almost stupid not to import certain expensive items. It's not like when our dollar was .60c USD.
Of course it's only a good deal if it's legal to bring in, thus the point of my question.
As for every detail necessary... the question was every detail necessary. Only question I had was about legality, not about what Canadian retailers sell for... it's pretty much irrelevant to the question honestly. Legality of importation has nothing to do with pricing. It's a CAN I do this question not a I'm GOING to do this question. But anyways don't want to argue with you Greylocks and I take your posts in stride, I'm not 12 and don't get my feelings hurt by a comment or two so nobody needs to jump to my defence when Grey gets crotchety at me lol.
