absolutpepper Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi I'm quite interested in this: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-Hard-Puncher-White-P-Bass-Guitar-MIJ-80s-/320661573993?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4aa8eb5169#ht_13381wt_1139"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-Hard-Puncher-W...ht_13381wt_1139[/url] my main concern is the seller, the feedback and things look fine but i've never ordered from an international seller before. Does anyone have any experience with this seller specifically, and if so how was the service, postage, etc. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The feedback does look good like. Go for it and if it goes breasts up PayPal cover you for items up to £500. You should look into the duty on imported goods like this though. I got severely burned on a bass from the States that the seller declared a value of £1000 on.

absolutpepper Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yeah that is one to consider, its annoying particularly given that these arent 'new' instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 A couple of things to note. The exceptionally cheap postage is for sea freight which takes 6-8 weeks and may take (non) receipt of the bass or any other problem outside the PayPal refund window. Remember that Import Duty, VAT, and clearance fees will add approximately £100 to the overall cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutpepper Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yeah, I was going to plump for the middle postage option if I went for it but I may leave off. Thanks for the advice guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The people on the "Other Les Pauls" forum on www.mylespaul.com have extensive experience of the people selling guitars (and basses) from Japan. Might be worth searching there, or asking a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
