I need a good place to price shop for gear so if anyone can list some sites it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm tired of having to convert prices and getting my hopes up on a site before I realise its american.
www.badlands.com, www.paintballonline.ca, www.paintballgear.ca

Stick with actionvillage or another comparable american site. add $15 for every hundred, and you're still saving money. The only real issue is customs, if you get hit your order might come COD for an extra $50. Try to get the shipper to mark it as a gift, My new marker was a present to my sister, saved me any duty fee.
2 of those links didn't work for me, and paintballgear.ca ain't the cheapest folk in town.
After looking it's www.badlandspaintball.com... I'm looking at a few other sites now, I'll edit with reviews or suggestions

It's a Canadian site with decent prices and a solid selection. It's the best Canadian site I've seen yet.

Another Canadian site. Some prices are a little steep, but others are reasonable. A great site if your looking for a mask. Also they take Paypal.

This one is the ugliest online store I think I've ever seen. I shopped it for a bit, prices aren't spectacular, but I couldn't give it a full look, as I got sick of looking at the page.
All said and done, the first site is worth a look, but beyond that I'll probably shop across the border. I can understand a markup of 15% in dollar conversion, and a duty markup aswell, but I don't want to pay the sometimes 100% markup the canadian sites are asking on things like a J&J Ceramic Barrel. Even the 30% markup on a Smart Parts Ion (actionvillage- $199 vs canadapaintball-$265) is a bit too much.
I also found HPA systems to be a little high at all 3 sites. Something to note.

If you are looking for woodsball equipment, Warheads Paintball Inc. exclusively has allot of stuff in Calgary, Alberta. So price shopping is, this is the price.
