that is weird since the used boxs go for more in canada then they do in the states.

freight? maybe?

 

[mrshaun]

hummmmmm that is odd....

I ran the exchange rate conversion and there's an almost $1800 US price difference. Now how does one go about getting that deal here in the US?

Are those made in Canada? That would explain the higher price because of freight.

no those are made in algona iowa.
canadian dollar is more or less than the us dollar?

 

[american lockpicker]

Well some English goods are cheaper here than in the UK.

Canadian Dollars > American Dollars

Canadian Dollars > American Dollars

No it isn't, the Canadian dollar is worth about 95.31 US cents. I means if I give you one canadian Dollar, you have to give me 95.31 cents US. If I want one american dollar from you I would have to give you about $1.06 Canadian.

I used to troll pawn shops in Floriduh when I lived down there a few years ago, and two different shops told me they keep all the Snap-on tools off the floor and build sets out of them, then put them on ebay. BOTH shops, about 40 miles apart, told me that they always sold them to people in northern states at full-list price, and both of them told me it was because Snap-on had a cheaper price structure in the South; full-list in the South was cheaper than full-list up north, so the buyers were still getting a deal.

The fact that they're selling boxes cheaper in Canada would seem to support that.
