Part of the great thing about being Stateside is the remnants and offshoots of enormous wealth. This means tonnes of high quality stuff on the used market. I'm in the middle of the Canadian Prairie and it has gotten to the point of having to order everything through the mail because the local prices are so high for many things. In the USA, there are listings of bikes in the magnitudes unheard of up here, and for prices far less. I could have bought 3 or 4 top quality bikes - big enough to FIT - easily in the span of a month if I were in the USA and would be happy for many years.

So, for those flippers closer to the Northern border, perhaps it might be worthwhile to bring a vanload of product across into Canada and sell them there? Perhaps not, but there would be more demand and opportunity in certain geographic pockets.

p.s. DON'T Bring them to this town - you'll get offered $5 on a $250 good deal bike.
