I'm fairly sure I bought a ROM from one of the two person you refer to
as Mr. Markup.
As a buyer from Canada, I want to point out that in my case there is a
peace-of-mind factor here with regards to dealing with a power seller
who knows all the detail of shipping, taxes, who can have the
transaction done through Visa and who knows the merchandise well and
has more than one in stock in case it's broken.  I don't mind paying an
extra 40$ for this instead of dealing with individuals who are less
experienced with this.  In fact, I do not consider buying at all from a
seller without a large sales history.
