The unreasonable thing, to me, is the guitar costing $1200 in Canada.
Australia's like that, too. I remember seeing a C=64 in a store for $600,
at a time they were seling for $200 in the states. Yes, there are transport
costs, but the 35% duty and the 17% luxury tax (and probably other taxes I
never knew of) had something to do with it, too.
