A recent business report said, " Parity with US dollar is possible".
I am the type of guy who plays first, then buys. I've bought photo stuff on eBay, but nothing musical. But it the Cdn $ does get close to the US,... It gets me thinking about it.
For example. You are looking for a basic Strat style axe. You try out a G&L Legacy Premium Tribute. You like it better than the MIM Fender strats. But here in Canada it is $650.00 Cdn. But you can get it online for $462 Cdn at current exchange rate. You pay an estra $90 for shipping and brokerage (no duty because of Nafta) and you end up paying $150 less for the guitar. If the exchange rate was 90 or 95%, the price would be lower.
So,... do you take the risk?????
