Thread: Possible to view an old (expired) classified ad?

Hi. I just got dinged with almost $50 in import taxes getting some second-hand hones shipped to me because the shipper stated their value at $300. I plan to dispute this and would like to print off a copy of the original ad which clearly states that the price was $110, and illustrates that they are in fact used goods.

Luckily I have a copy of the ad announcement email, but if I could print off the actual web page that would look much more authentic.

Admins? The link to the ad was:

Message - Straight Razor Place Classifieds

Thanks

Sometimes an ad listed in the SRP classifieds will also be in another shaving forums Buy,Sell,trade forum where it is an archived thread. Have you checked B&B or SMF to see if the ad was listed there as well ? I think that once deleted from SRP's classifieds the ads are gone.

A good idea, but couldn't find anything.

Sorry, I think once an ad is deleted it is gone. I'm not finding this particular one either

Ok no worries. The email will have to be enough.

the paypal receipt that you have should be good with the customs.
i'd contact the seller and check the reason they declared such a high value. their explaination may be useful with the customs too.

Yes I have the PayPal receipt printed off, and the ad email, both of which indicate a price of $110. The ad also clearly indicates they are second-hand. Right now I'm hoping to find some indication that second-hand goods imported into Canada are not taxable (anybody know??), so I can reclaim all of that, but either way I should be able to get at least 2/3 of it back.
