Nice tip: When it's cold out, put your shoes on the heater while you get ready to leave in the morning. Your feet will be toasty for the frigid morning. :mrgreen:

thanks fer the tip steve....do canadians get tax returns every year?
Dvd stores - kakoi_sugoi_yama - 02-28-2003
People here in NC complain all the time about taxes being so high. They are only 6%, and they don't have a school tax! WTF! No wonder people here are so ignorant.

6% sounds nice...its better that 8.25% (CA)...but not better than 15% Canada...

I guess I'll be happy with my 4.5% then.

yeah, shipping and tax just really sucks.

With purchases, we have to often pay both provincial and federal tax (that is 15% grand total tax folks). There are a couple of places up here where you can go and they will not charge you tax (as long as you pay cash).
Most often you can find better deals online compared to a physical store that you walk into.
As for whether HKs are illegal, if they are selling a commercial anime (for example, Cowboy Bebop) , they could get into big...um...doo-doo. As for ones where the rights have not been picked up by a commercial company in N.America (for example), I think it is ok.

thats because the damn stores monpolize the anime buissness like suncoast and media play and charge $30 for a dvd with 3 episodes on it!
Dvd stores - matthewmalay - 03-01-2003
Well, 30$ is the SRP and its rare for a brick and mortar store to charge below SRP, maybe if its on special or they have deal with the publisher. Yeah, when buying R1s go with the the internet, you'll find much better deals
Hehe, got my 5$ back form amazon.ca, they still overcharged me 6 cents but I wont complain about it
Dvd stores - OptimisticOx - 03-01-2003
when I want R1s I will trade for them, because usually you can trade HK with a 1 to 1 ratio for R1s because although they are not as good quality HKs hold about 8 episodes each and R1s only hold 4. so both people make out on both sides.
