This guy is a friend of mine and I'm pretty sure I'm getting the amp from him. He's going to find an amp worth $700ish in Toronto, then I'm going to buy it and trade him it for the 200s and a 2x15 he built. I think it's a fair deal, I saw one go on ebay last week for $500ish and I could use a 2x15.
Umm... In his ad post, I guess he forgot to mention that the 2 X 15 came with it. Still, even with a homemade 2 X 15 cab $750 is high, unless the cab comes with some premium cast frame drivers.
PS. Canadian dollar > US dollar right now. 
Actually I was taking
that into consideration. At 750 CAD, it puts that two KT88/6550 Sunn 200S closer in line with the going rate for 4 X KT88/6550 Sunns for us US buyers. In other words, 750 CAD should buy you a
2000S, not a 200S on eBay.
I watch exchange rates pretty close, and when an anomaly like that happens I think you should capitalize by buying all the non depreciating American vintage stuff you can afford to speculate on. Not just music gear, old cars are probably even better, repressed US real estate even better still. Assuming items that will generally appreciate over the long haul (old tube gear, classic cars, REAL ESTATE), right now you northern neighbors can get a 10-12% "leg up" on long term tangible goods investments when the exchange rates fall back into line. And they
will fall back in line. Even if they go back to the 1:1 exchange rate, any cash rich Canadians can benefit.
Here’s the rub; the US musical gear marketplace is exponentially larger than the Canadian marketplace. Good news if you are Canadian and sitting on a pile of cash, overall decidedly BAD news if you are Canadian and trying to
sell gear in the North American market.
Or, maybe I'm wrong...
