fretmeister Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 As beautiful as that is... Bringing it into the UK for the first time would mean paying tax. 4.4% import and then a huge 20% VAT. So the EURO price to get it here is 5130 No point undervaluing an expensive instrument either - if it got damaged in transit then the courier / insurers would limit their payout to the declared value.

binky_bass Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Valid point... unless of course Mr Potriat has taken that into account when he says 'shipped to Europe' A little clarification please sir! She's a lovely beast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) He's not going to pay your import and Vat! And he's not an authorised agent of HMRC to collect the tax either! Edited February 26, 2013 by fretmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I believe you can pre-pay import taxes when sending from the US... Either way, he's done a deal with someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
