[tpm] OT: Buying via ebay.ca from a seller in the U.S.

[Alex Beamish]

Hi guys,

I'm in need of a Canon IP100, which is a small, portable printer. I'm
trying to do so as economically as possible.

I see that there are a few on offer in the U.S., where they retail for
about $160; on ebay.ca, I see them offered for $60-100, with another $10 or
so for shipping (presumably this is in USD). Here in Toronto, the best
price I can find is $273, at Direct Canada.

If I buy something from the U.S., am I liable for duty? I'm not in the
habit of buying used stuff through the Internet, so I don't know what to
expect.

Thanks!

Alex

PS Um, yeah, if you have one of these units that you'd like to sell, or can
point me to a place where they're sold at good prices, by all means bring
that up.
