I've done this quite often.
the best way is to have it shipped to a US depot (drop point) and pick it up then drive it
over yourself.
the other way is quite a bit of hassle sometimes, unless you have a good broker.
maybe someone has better experience with that part than me, but I always drop ship, and
pick it up US side.
Canada customs is a pain in the you know what. :)

I remember the discussion about bringing classic computers across the
border from Canada to the USA, but, has anyone got any experiences going
the other way? Any issues since many of these systems are USA country of
origin? Especially with big iron, where you'd have a trailer or big truck...

Just fyi, it's not my auction, but there's a pdp-11/34 in two racks, a tape
drive and large hard drives on ebay. Two days left, I figure somebody with
a big truck wants to save it.
I normally wouldn't post about an ebay auction, but this one doesn't
mention pdp-11 in the auction title and seems to have been overlooked.
