Yes, this is the place I bought my Cowboy. I ck their website occasionally to see if this last one is still available. Not suprised he has'nt sold it, I think he's asking a bit much. I did ask him recently how much he would sell it for and he told me that his US price would be the same that I bought mine for and I can tell you it was a lot less than what he's asking. |

It's a European tax, kind of like our sales tax, however, my understanding is that you don't have to pay the tax if you export it. mk |

That's different, and yes, it sucks, especially when is comes as a surprise. That happened to me when I purchased something in Canada. I learned me lesson: ask first! btw...someone posted recently that some shippers may include the duty in the shipping cost and others may not. mk |

mk, Maybe you should make this guy an offer for the Cowboy, you never know he may let it go for a lot less than what he's asking. He has had it for quite a while and I'm sure he already paid for it. Also it was my understanding that he kept one for himself so he needs to sell this one. I think he's asking a high price because he sold 2 of them in a matter of weeks and figures they are still a very hot item, however this one has been on his website since late January. |

VAT is "Value Added Tax" in the UK and is paid on top of the total cost and about 3% Customs duty. Nasty B*st#rds take 17.5% VAT off everyone if you import from the rest of the world but you're okay if you're shipping in from Europe. six |

Re VAT Many years ago when I worked in a music store there was two rates of VAT in the UK. 6% for non luxury items (could have been 12%) and a whopping 25% for luxury goods i.e. anything electrical. So if we sold an acoustic guitar it was lower rate and if it was electric then it was 25%. Thing’s got really interesting if you were selling a guitar strap – is it for an acoustic or electric ? What rate to charge ? Happy days ! |
