Re: 2001FPs, Ebay and the UK
I just sold 2 2405fpws to the UK from the US, I said the value was $50 a piece on the customs form. It worked.

Can see that working a bit more if they were used! Also - just in case you weren't aware, under UK law, if a Customs form is filled in fraudulently, "the importer", ie your buyer could be held criminally liable if the fraud was discovered and may face a fairly hefty fine, along with a criminal record and all the joy that entails. Hence I'd rather do the import all above board and pay any duty due Mat

Re: 2001FPs, Ebay and the UK
I got mine sent from the US and they charged me about 120 GBP for taxes! I dont think there is any way to get around this. I send that one back and bought mine for 380 gbp from ebay uk. I'm sure you can find it around 300 pounds at the british ebay if you keep looking.

i got mine about a year ago now for £300 incuding postage from the US. again, they just printed a lower value on the outside of the box and therefore no taxes for me to pay. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: 2001FPs, Ebay and the UK
Eh, I used to do a shitload of eBay sales to Canada and the UK.
The solution is to claim no value or <$50 on the customs form, and insure through a third party package insurance companym like U-PIC. Of course, the receiver is the one liable if customs figures it out, but I always asked a head of time if they were ok with it, and 98% did it.
