My perspective is that it is a specific issue which appears to go against the headline and the spirit of the “free-trade” agreement, rather than a general and inevitable outcome of brexit per-se. As such, it is something which is extremely relevant and important to the membership here and deserves to be discussed as that. Keeping it on-topic is really quite important.

There y'go - no need to go off-topic here then.

It seems like this one has!

Feel free to start your own thread about how brexit has affected other areas than Visa-free touring in the EU.

OTOH... Hmmm - which is correct? (A link to those specific guidelines would be handy!)

QED.

I reckon it'll be at least £4,445.00...

Welcome! Where did you buy via, and when? Don't wait to report to Action Fraud and other channels - get that moving asap, as these things take time.

This is turning into another brexit-bashing thread...

Note there's also a link from the petition to contact your MP.

We need to make that a sticky!

It looks decent, except is that a real snare drum, in which case it's a fail on the be-kind-to-neighbours basis.

There was a wanted ad for a SansAmp yesterday on FB and a number of people replied warning against the fraudster, including one or two I didn't recognise. I can't see the post now, so maybe it's been taken down.

I think the pedals are the biggest compromise on the cheap kits.

I thought it missed the point; the restore removed all trace of the original use and the bridge & pickup covers were a mistake. it was discussed after the programme was aired on BBC.

Completely pulling up the drawbridge and cutting off communication is certainly not the answer, that's for sure.

I'm mentally drafting a letter to my MP... There will be a number of revisits/clarifications to the agreement over these coming months. Fortunately, the actual impact of such restrictions is minimal at this precise moment, due to the virus situation, so there is time to get it sorted.

In that case, the EU were right, on this occasion.

I think a 90-day permission sort of arrangement should be simple enough (and nothing to do with Johnny-Foreigner invading good old Blighty, or anything like that). As things stand, the "free trade" deal doesn't quite seem to be quite what it says on the tin, so they'll be needing to do some revisions of it.

I wonder what it'll go for.

They just look like not quite an Ibanez to me.

I may be a naive fool, but I think they really just didn't quite get it right on this (and the s/h instruments market, discussed in other threads); after all, the agreement document is loads of pages of gobbledegook. I don't think the agreement was intended to put minor musicians out of business, nor stifle the 2nd-hand market. They probably spent so long wrangling over fishing rights and NI that they didn't go down into this aspect of the minutiae. Writing to your MP should help bring the matter to their attention and maybe move towards getting things put right.
