I've found that this thread (and the continent of Europe at large) are two places that make Americans want to be Canadians.

Quit your whining, your country just got $0.00 Rosewill woodies, you have Amazon Prime, and Netflix that doesn't suck.  Newegg.com doesn't even take non-US credit cards, and newegg.ca is a joke!

I was going to go out tonight but my XSCargo location is bone dry ( Vancouver Island ). Too bad I'll have to re-check in the morning just in case. Glad you posted this up for people.  That's about the price of some fancy coffees these days.

For these TDKs I am going to declare it worth calling your store or going there and pointing at the flyer and demanding they bring in stock for you.  They're worth it.  Just remember that at XSCargo, Customer Service is not in their vocabulary.  If you grab them, we can start our own appreciation thread and drive the price up!  I posted a picture of the box on the product page so you can find it in that mess of a store.  May the Force be with you.

Lol, okay.  But just for the record, you have NCIX.

New Yorkers - 
ACS Deal
http://www.acscustom.com/us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=134
 
 
Custom in-ear for $300 - single driver, includes impressions (in NYC).
 
[size=13.63636302947998px]In honor of the holiday spirit and opening our new NYC office doors at SIR Studios, only for the month of December, our popular T3 Single Driver In-ear Monitors will be discounted down to $300 from their original price of $479. [/size][size=13.63636302947998px][/size]
 

 
[size=12pt]So how do we custom make them to fit the users ears?[/size]

[size=10pt]Well, the voucher that you receive when purchasing the T3 can be redeemed at ACS' facility in midtown. We will take a set of impressions of the user’s ears.[/size] [size=10pt]It’s a quick process that should take no longer than 10 minutes and then after a few days in our lab the T3 will be ready for collection or delivery. Whilst you’re here, you can chose what color you want them to be and meet the people behind such a specialist process[/size]

* Customers based outside of New York can redeem the voucher if they are able to send impressions to ACS. Voucher redeemers are responsible for the impression taking process and cost[size=10pt].[/size]

Yeah that tells you that they CAN sell that at price, yet the RRP they put on them was $359

Heck we used to be able to grab some MDR-EX500s for $15 back at Thailand (Sony manufactures them there, and there were a few stock-leaks). 
 
 
 
Anywho, FOR CANADIANS WHO MIGHT SEE THIS BEFORE TOMORROW (SUNDAY) ENDS:
 
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=16_1098&item_id=054047
 
Sennheiser IE-80 for $249.00
 
Not sure how good of a deal that is though...
