bearing in mind that import, shipping and customs are going to cost a fair ammount i'd say that £80 quid recorded special delivery was pretty good.
as for taking pics of the item - they're still factory sealed, so theyre NIB.
plus - when did i say that i can import vat and tax on items - the only reason theyre cheaper (look at items such as £10 for many JT Straps, £30 playing tops, £50 pants) is that i have to cover tax, insurance, import duties, vat, and shipping - so i'm not making anything. the money goes to the supplier, he ships them to me, as well as about £5 an item to cover postage to you, all i get is items without shipping costs - so i'm not doing it to bring down comunity spirit as Tw!sted is making out - i'm not the forum's anti-christ, and i'm not going to put my prices up to rediculous ammounts of profit - i don't make any profit - if i wanted to make profit, i'd go out, and find a job - not look for cheap events on the net. as for that essay tw!sted, i adivse you do the same thing, you've got far too much time on your hands.
