Everything costs more in canada. They tax everything heavily from my experience in the past few months, even shipping charges.
Example. I sent parts from Texas to Ontario ca. It cost me $10 to ship it and took 4 days to get there. Value was $50 for the shipment.
My project manager needed parts next day so I had to but and ship from Ontario to ontario. Same shipment. Parts cost me $70 and shipping cost me $50. Even if different seller markups it was all the taxes making the difference.
I think the price difference on the resale market has a lot to do with that since it was sold in canada and not so much the numbered certificate or the reversed packaging and seller's expecting a Canadian buyer and coering costs or passing them along.
GST, HST, sales tax, tax tax tax, that becomes an added cost to the next guy in line that buys it .
It's the same 2 coins. I don't see the point to paying extra for variant packaging or a numbered certificate. It's the coins I want.
