Good question Dave. I too have been using the KEH site for a number of things: 1) as a "thermometer" for prices/grades of equipment I see elsewhere (i.e. Ebay) 2) as a comparison to local (i.e. Henry's / Downtown Camera) shops that sell similar used goods.
I'd like to hear about the issues at the border as well. WRT Canada Customs; it seems to me, from my recent Ebay buying extravaganza, that there is no hard or fast rule on used (or even new) equipment coming across the border. What I did notice, is that it depends on who's carrying those items across the border. Recently I've received a 21mm Zeiss Hologon for my G2. This was purchased new from ebay from a Retail dealer auction (similar to Adorama) in upstate NY. This came to me via UPS and I forked over $70.00 in GST. I've also received a 35mm Zeiss Planar (again for the G2) from Ebay from England and it arrived via Purolator. The lens was used but cost me $400 CDN to purchase. No taxes, duties or levies needed to be paid. My 2 cents.
