Also my brother is constantly buying things from the US on ebay. Every time it shows up at our door, hes had to pay duty and/or customs fees.

Recently the USD has been worth about 92-95 cents CDN. But after checking just now, looks like its just above par. If it dips down again though, id be gettin less once its converted into CAD. May not seem like alot, but with increased shipping costs, it starts to get a little tight.

In the end, id really like to keep it local, or atleast in the same country. but If anyone can confirm that they have infact crossed the border with hundreds of pounds of e scrap, id consider makin the 5 hour trip. Would be a nice road trip and i could probably use the gas from a scrap car. Just that dang border. I dont wanna drive 3 hours to find out i cant cross.
