Re: IML: Canadian prices

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

How far are you from Watertown?  With that kind of difference it may well be
worth your time to drive there and pick up what you need if you are not that
far.  At the going exchange, the US parts would be about C$157.07 and
C$55.37.  Which is a little more than half the Canadian price.  Actually, at
those rates it might even pay to have the parts shipped to Canada.  You will
have to pay GST on them, but then you would with the Canadian source as
well, and again you would be saving money - $12.75 vs $22.87.

Also by not buying the parts at your Canadian source you will be sending a
message that you will not be gouged.  Which is quite evident by the price
difference.  C$225.19 at Watertown vs.C $415.09 in Canada.
