Some crazy cheap prices there. Wish it was Canadian sites though.

WHY IS THAT?

You can stiil order stuff on line can't you?

That site itself isn't selling its just got links to other sites where you buy it.

I'm sure they would be willing to take your Canadian sheckles & if you pay thru say PayPal theres probably a way to convert the currency.

:biglaugh:

Yes but once it crosses the border they'll double the price, if worse. Hence why everything is double the price here, let alone the exchange rate (which is very low now though).

Who will double the prices?

If you buy it for an aggreed upon price that's it--or are you refering to shipping costs?

Cus even on Ebay there are guys from Canada, England Japan & other alien type places selling stuff. :biglaugh:

No the border taxes, and shipping is also quite crazy. Ebay is a bit different since you can always ask the person to send it as a gift and the tarifs are lower, or something. I don't know a lot about how it all works.

That's weird.

You should find out--like call FedEX or UPS and find out.

Or have it delivered here & you can drive down to Wisconsin to pick it up.

LOL :P Of course then you'd have to smuggle it back in.

They need to invent teleporters, even if it's small ones, as long as it's big enough to put a box in. It would look sort of like an oversized microwave. Put the box in, close the door, enter the destination IP, and it apears in that person's teleporter. Would be so cool. :D

I heard a story that they did make a teleporter, but it only transfers particles so far. Don't remember where I heard that though. If they did invent that, you know somebody somewhere would try to morph with something like that treehouse of horrors episode where bart turns into the fly. :evilsmile:

Teleporters, when thought about like PC transfering like that, sound so possible. It would just take a hell of alot of energy.

Or like on space balls when a guy(forget who) comes upside down, then he's all "screw this I'm going to walk" and the place he's going to is just a door away. LOL
