what was that 'bout taxes???
If it's inc postage it's not a bad deal, but there are a few things to think about.
Taxes, import duty, government thieving call it what you will but you may get charged for purchasing outside of the UK and having it imported. Usually it doesn't even matter if the item is second hand, say like importing an old american car you will still have to pay duty.
Bottle Specs. If that's an american bottle then it's not much use to you. We have to use HSE standard bottles in the UK. You can own an US grade DOT bottle but you must not fill it, and no company filling bottles at a tournament will fill the bottle so it makes it pretty useless
Plus what regulator is it supplied with? If you can afford to dump the bottle and get a HSE one here and fit it to the reg it's not too bad but you do need to know the regulator the bottle is attached to. By the sounds of it it's a pre-set bottle and reg into a bottom line and I know jack about them.....don't even know if the bottle can be separated.
Backup, what you gonna do if when you get this marker shipped over it's a POS and it aint working. That's a long way to take it back to the owner and demand your money back!
HTH
