Replying to Grrrrr, USD and Bacons

So yes, the Grrrr indicates that I'm in a pickle and quite upset about how the USD (american dollar) has gotten so much more powerful. The reason for this? And why it's in gear talk or even on NS at all?

Because it involves me getting a pair of Sir Francis Bacons. A couple weeks ago it was all fine and dandy with the two dollars (Canadian and American) being relatively close, but now it would cost me about 30% extra total cost.

So, I have a way to get them for $510 from the shop, but I'll end up paying around $690. Not fair. I could get them for $740 from a Canadian shop, but why would I do that?

So, what ways can I bypass the system? If the Canadian dollar gets better than this is quite pointless, but if not I might end up paying too much. Lying to a border person is out of the question. I already did that once and they'd probably try to throw me in jail if they caught me again.

If there was a canadian shop that had some of last years for cheap, that would work. Anyone know one?
Or anyone know of a better deal on a new pair (this years or last years) in the US than $510?

Maybe this should be in B/S/T, but as I'm not buying, selling or trading, I dunno. It's gear related.

Help please,

Thanks.
