Trying to buy an insecticon reissue. A local store has it for 55 (about $44 US) canadian. If I order it online i can get it for about 30-35US. If I buy it here i'll have to pay sales tax, so it might come out to about 5-10 candian dollars more in the long run, but I'll get it now. If I ship it, it'll take longer, I run the risk of damage or loss in shipping, I'll have to pay shipping fees (which are sometimes outrageous) and I risk paying duties on it. It would probably be cheaper this way though.
Just wondering what most people do in these situations?
I think in this case I'll just buy it here since the price difference isnt so great.
Your thought on shipping vs. middle men

Tax? Duties?
IF another persons buys it and sends it to you, you have got to pay the shipping fee only, which is indeed outrageous. Even inside a country. Trust me, I know.
