Oh yes. Very true. I had to buy my Thule bike carrier off ebay. The Canadian retail price of the unit was (and still is) $600, whereas the US list price is $300. Then you have your ebay retailers who sell for even less because of no overhead. I paid $270 plus $60 shipping, taxes etc. to my door. Thule refuses to adjust their Canadian prices, the difference is quite obscene. I'm not sure why they think it's in their better interest to punish Canadians like that. At any rate, their Canadian retailers/distributors lost out on a sale because of that practise.
