IKKI-ZUVK www.ebay.com ;) DigiNut I think we Canucks are pretty much screwed in the area of production gear. Got any friends/family in the U.S.? Limit try Long and Mcquade...there prices arn't that great but if your into getting some new gear over used then thats teh way to go....you can pretty much oder anything from them. They dont keep everyting unbder the sun in stock and on the floor...mostly North american gear (Korg)...so call em up and ask. I got my K-station from them. Mizrachi Prices tend to be pretty decent here Hope that helps DigiNut quote: Originally posted by Mizrachi Prices tend to be pretty decent here Hope that helps Are you kidding? Those prices are obscene! Most of them are more than double the retail price! aquila Can you order from zzounds? Or don't they support Canada? DigiNut quote: Originally posted by aquila Can you order from zzounds? Or don't they support Canada? Yeah, but the problem is customs... anything shipped from other countries ends up getting taxed to when it reaches the border, so even if you save 50% on something, it still costs more than what it would cost to buy it in a store. Stupid protectionism. :mad: aquila Know any regular drivers who could smuggle them for you? ;) tax! msz some items in long and mcquades are actually veryyyy reasonable. i was looking at some midi controllers and i was surprised at some prices.

I forgot to mention it's easy to haggle with them ;) When I was looking at for example Numark CDXs a while back I managed to pull two + a mixer + headphones (I forget which) down to $2000 incl tax by haggling -- mindyou I never did end up buying them...
