A few years back, I had an acquaintance who routinely used to drop by
HIS friends' music shop with orders for equipment and went and visited
Canadien relatives and friends with "gifts".  An example of why is that
a stratocaster (yeah, I know, who wants them anyway:-) which cost around
$US600 here, cost about $US1200 there!  My acquaintance did not charge
his friends and relatives the $US1200.  He used to go North through one
border entrance and come home a different way.  To my knowledge he never
got caught (although I personally believe he deserved to get caught).
People like that cause border personel to be unreasonable.
