I wonder how much will the shipping cost be to the USA? Apparently they can ship here but couldn't give me an estimate... do you think it is worth bidding for someone who live in the USA? I wonder if I will still be taxed...

Hi @burakol

I'm sorry I can't help you with shipping fees to USA, I am surprised that they couldn't give you a ball park figure or an example of cost per kilo for postage and packaging. With regard to USA taxation I haven't got a clue! I do know that the price you pay in the UK includes all UK taxes but you also need to be aware that the winning bid price has a buyers fee added which is +26.34% and covers all VAT and sales tax.

Maybe you could start a separate thread on here to ask these questions on the forum. I imagine that you are not the first person to buy on auction from the UK, this forum has a great font of knowledge amongst it's members.
