Is it up to 40$ before GST kicks in? It used to be 20$. And, of course, Canada is hardly alone in that. The EU just dropped the threshold to 0 - [i]all[/i] imports to the EU now owe VAT regardless of their value. Honestly, the American threshold of several hundred dollars is the outdated and unusual policy. (Regarding sales taxes, anyway. Import tariffs are a different story. And no, charging GST on an import is not an import tariff. ) @Psychogenic : I really don't expect anyone in the States to think that's a good deal. I'll give this a couple more weeks to try and find a local buyer, and if it's still just sunk capital at that point I'll do some rethinking. Thanks for the kind words!

Sorry for the lagged reply - it seems my spam filter is catching notifications from this board. Shipping to 90210 (because I needed a ZIP code to put into the website and I'm old enough that that one is seared into my brain) would be 150 CDN. Shipping costs to other states might vary a bit, but should be close. That would mean a total price of 1650 CDN, which according to Google, [i]right now[/i] would be 1360-ish USD. Your bank is probably not going to give you that rate, though. I'd be willing to accept 1250 USD, shipped. I know that's high, but my interest is in what I get in CDN, not what that actually costs in USD. Also, importing things with Lithium batteries in them can be messy, and so I would require a US buyer to explicitly acknowledge that it is not my fault if the thing gets stopped at customs, and that I will only refund whatever value I get back. If Canada Post brings it back to me saying "We're keeping the shipping charge, and you owe us another 100$ for bringing it back to you" then that 250$ would come out of the buyer's pocket, not mine. In short, I'm willing to try sending it to America but I don't actually think it's a good idea and I'm not willing to risk any financial losses in the attempt. I hope that doesn't sound cranky! I do appreciate people trying to be helpful. I think what I really need to do is learn how to use things like Kijiji, though - I suspect I'm just not hitting a wide enough local audience here.

Just bringing this back to the top! I don't pretend to have a full understanding of the EUC economy. If you're interested but think my pricing is off, make me an offer! Cheers! Davyd

Thanks, @Chriull I've edited the post - if someone can let me know whether that worked or not, I'd appreciate it.

Hi, all! Wheel is sold!
