Ello again. After repeatedly saying it would never happen, I'm considering selling out and betraying the Order of the Silver Nitrate by... buying... a... digital! :shock:....
:mrgreen: I have my eye on a particular model, and have found it on Ebay's US site at a good price (can't seem to find it anywhere nearer to home). Now I generally avoid the whole "grey import" thing like the plague, but I was wondering if it would be a different issue if I were buying an item second-hand from an individual rather than new from a business. Assuming he doesn't claim it as a gift, will I be subjected to the full range of fees; import duty, added VAT and having a customs official come to my house, grab my TV and punch me in the face on the way out? Just wondering if it's worth going for it. Thanks in advance.
