He's bound to have dealt with them I can ask him what he thinks if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very speculative at present for sure, and having calculated the courier fee and the import duty it's simply too expensice any way. Guys, many thanks for the posts above, doubt I'll be buying this time (unless they accept a pretty low Best Offer), but I guess the above will be usueful to someone in the future Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTee Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm sure these were the guys I bought my Fleabass from - maybe 5 or 6 years ago - on Ebay. No problems at all. Rang up the shop and payed by card over the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say Chris - once you add on import duty & shipping it's just not worth the hassle anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
