I found a great deal on eBay ( note: unlike the one i posted about previously ), a PM G5 2.5Ghz - BRAND NEW! - for $2200 (£1200)
The person selling them has perfect feedback, sells loads of stuff like this, i checked his history and it all seems to look good.
I emailed and the perso is willing to ship to the UK. I have priced up a new 2.3Ghz system and it is at least £1700 for it. The thing is in the message i got back reality hit me...
This could be a problem. Has anyone got a Powermac/Powerbook or something simular from the US > UK and how much was the dutie/vat extra in addition to the price. Im concerned ill pay $2200 for the comp, $200 for shipping then get hit for $1000 dutie/vat or something daft .
I have tried to find out by searching the web and all the information is very elusive and never actually seems to get to the main point: the cost.
Reminds me of a game i imported from Japan for my Nintendo DS actually, game was £27, Shipping was £15 (i was in a hurry ) and i got stung for £18 when it arrived for dutie/vat.

By the way, we are only responsible for shipping the item with full insurance not responsible for your duties, taxes etc
Thanks,
