BACS is a direct bank transfer. Yep - agreed, in simple terms... if the buyer is the consignee and the consignor then you would be golden Warwickhunt. -
Selling a bass to Hong Kong in 2021/22... facts.
bagsieblue replied to warwickhunt's topic in General Discussion
In my work life I have shipped many shipments into and out of Hong Kong. Further, specifically in terms of Hong Kong, I believe HK is still classed as a "free port" so there is no customs tariffs on imports and exports. Note - That only covers the customs duty element of all the applicable costs. For me, I would still only want to sell on an ex works basis so the buyer has control and ownership on transport, insurance etc. -

I sold a bass to Singapore once. I think the safest way for a seller to do this is to sell it on a collected basis where the buyer organises and takes complete control of the process, costs (including taxes etc) and risks of an international shipment. In business speak selling it on an "ex works" basis. Ownership of the responsibility on shipping, duty, taxes, insurance etc is then 100% with the seller, who has organised the shipping. I direct potential buyers to interparcel / parcelhero etc websites and ask that they organise everything. You would then just need to box up, review the paperwork, attach labels and hand over the bass on collection to the courier company. -

Dingwall D-Roc Standard Vintage Burst £999 shipped Mainland UK - No Trades. Very Good Overall Condition, barley a mark on it. Note the natural marking in the wood of a black spot on the body, under the G String area on the body between the pickups and the neck. Note another hole has been drilled to give an alternative position to hand the bass from – done by a previous owner and a very useful addition! The Blurb from Dingwall: The D-ROC Standard is an affordable, but brilliant bass guitar. It features a classic design and a high-quality mahogany body, partnered with smoked nickel Hipshot/Dingwall hardware. It’s a match made in bass heaven. This 4-string model comes in a classy, Matte Vintageburst finish. Hand Picked Hardware Dingwall have decided on an open-back tuner for the D-ROC. It helps to provide a smooth feel and is extremely lightweight. They are also known for being very reliable, offering years of high-level performance without any issues. A great tone pairs nicely with this solid performance, in part due to an available bridge/saddle system. This has then been improved upon through the implementation of a custom riser system – which grants increased range of action adjustability. Excellent Electronics The FD-3N pickups in the D-ROC (made to meet Dingwall expectations) ensure an aggressive, but buttery smooth tone. This is because of the decision to use quality Neodymium magnets. New Smoked Nickel knurled dome style knobs with a set-screw further adds to the excellent electronics found on this bass. Body and Neck A well-crafted mahogany body has been used, which helps to reduce the weight of the bass and provides a comfortable playing experience. The average weight of a D-ROC Standard is between 8.5lbs and 9.5lbs – making it a great choice for long playing sessions. The matte finish is durable, and will remain looking amazing for a long period of time. The bass sounds just as good as It looks! Stability and reliability are guaranteed due to a 5-piece maple neck construction. Many Dingwall players even say that this results in a neck that is as stable as many graphite necked instruments they’ve played previously. The choice of a flat headstock – with Hipshot licensed Ultralite tuners – achieves a truly excellent balance. Playability has also been enhanced thanks to the addition of smaller, 18% hard nickel silver fretwire. It offers you a much faster feel, as well as a woodier, less metallic tone.
