There is a large used market for decent equipment in Canada. Some ppl think Audiogon is all US content and locations (mostly true) but the Canuckaudiomart is almost guaranteed coming from a Canadian location (no cross border issues with shipping).
I go there myself now and again to look for stuff but sad to say that i have not once found an item i was looking for while Audiogon always has several (every other week or so).

Glad to hear you are on your upgrading way again.
