the opposite of what I just said. You essentially cant use canadian money anywhere in US

 

[Jack]

some deperate border stores that are suffering the boycott may offer par but they'll be closed before the end of the year anyway

reatil cannot survive without "flow"

[Joe]

I know. That's why I no longer buy from the US. Just buy American comic books from Cznadian dealers who sell them for less in C$

 

[Jack]

That makes zero sense

 

[Joe]

Vancouver has a large enough population & supply of collectibles & comic shows that they dont need to rely upon the US as much anymore

 

[Joe]

I imagine the Canadian cities bordering Vermont or NH are the smaller Canadian cities and towns

 

[Joe]

So they probably have to go the US for their supply

@Joe I once a guy call it Hongcouver.

 

[Alticus]

@Joe I once a heard a guy call it Hongcouver.

 

[Joe]

Yeah it's a bit of that. Richmond a suburb is 80% Chinese

 

[Alticus]

Yeah, I figured.

 

[Alticus]

Vancouver is an expensive city to live in, but these days almost any big city is.

 

[Joe]

Yeah. That is not a lie.

I knew people I used to play Magic with and they headed out to Vancouver because you can make good money. They didn't take into account that is was expensive and they ended back here after several months.

[Joe]

But that's what it's like going to small towns up North like Fort McMurray

Crazy world we live in.

 

[Joe]

People think theyll make a killing but often end up spending all their money on rent & food because they 2x the prices on everything

 

[Jack]

the books still come from the us and dealer or not, they have to pay us prices to acquire the books to begin with. Just doesnt add up Joe

 

[Jack]

there are no successful canadian comic book companies currently that I know of

 

[Alticus]

@Joe Exactly

 

[Joe]

Your talking about new retail stock. I'm referring to Silver/Golden Age collectibles

 

[Jack]

Yes @Alticus when I was there last spring that's what they called all the asians in vancouver

 

[Jack]

sigh @Joe

 

[Joe]

Anyway @Jack I bought many nice collectibles from the USA over the years. But I think those days are over. especially with those Trump tariffs

 

[Jack]

Its kind of like talking to a block of cheese

 

[Alticus]

@Jack I've never been to a city that large before.
