I've bought two MH's from a small local dealer who get's them at auctions in the US. He had been doing this for nearly 20 years ( he just retired) and he had around 7-10 MH's and a couple of dozen trailers/5th wheels in stock all the time. MH units ranged in price from low $200K down to some in the $35K and his prices were some of the best around.

A good reason for him not doing it anymore is the exchange rate. I just talked to my cousin in Petawawa, Ontario this noon and they just Paid $1.45 C for US Dollar. Today we have US people going to Canada for a bargain.
Yep, its a real killer and the CAD dropped again yesterday, some predict 65-70 cents against the USD by this summer (so the banks will charge 45-50%) as oil goes even lower. I will seriously have to consider how often I'll be going camping in the US this summer. OTH I can still save on some groceries (paid 7$ for a head of cauliflower here last week) and really save on booze.
The plus side, if someone made a fair offer on my MH in USD I'd sell in a heartbeat right now, put the cash away for 3 years until I retire:B (and maybe get a Super C then).
