Mine was without asking. I still begrudge extra costs. Though appreciated it!

Be very, VERY happy. Here (Brazil) we must pay 100% taxes plus shipping.

My love of my country is so great I voluntarily pay duties on guitars where Customs forgot to charge me. All of the sellers are requested to declare twice the value of the guitar just in case a slip up occurs. April Fools on you.

twchua · 04-01-2011, 11:11 PM

At least you guys get your good.

For me, worse case scenario, I do not see the goods. Stolen by people in post or customs. Best case scenario, goods get detained by customs, I have to haggle with the officer on how much I have to pay him(not the govn) to release my goods. "Long live corruption!"

Bust the Busters.

Villager, couldn't you get registered as a business? I suppose you're now a private collector, but as a business the whole VAT thing would not apply to you, no? You'd just have to mark it up when you sell a guitar (and only if it's inside the EU) and then pay that amount in taxes to the government, but while it's in your possession, it'd be just part of your business's inventory.

As to taxes, no one likes to pay them, but living here in Singapore has also made me see the other side where you're really on your own. Forget pensions, free health care, cheap higher education, etc. It's a very common sight here to see ancient looking people still working. The cleaners in my workplace look like denizens of a geriatric ward, most of them are well over 70 and several look like they're well past 80. They have no other means of support so they have no choice. The mandatory retirement age for taxi drivers is 72 and some of them are demanding to have this raised as it's unfair if they're still healthy and have no other means of support. Can you imagine doing such a stressful job when you're in your seventies? So when I move back to Europe, with cheap and good healthcare and education and at least some form of retirement security, I'll accept it as part of the deal. Not that I'll like it, but seeing the alternative is an eye opener.

afraid not brazen, i am registered as an auto entropeneur in france, to be involved in the system for healthcare etc etc, but this regime does not allow me to be VAT registered !!

Do you mean the one with VH-1 stickers? One just like the one Chingo put up on ebay? It's in completed non-sales...

Thomas/Sweden · 04-02-2011, 09:20 AM

I'm a record collector too, so I get many packages. When it comes to guitars, the customs are working properly!

slapshot · 04-02-2011, 10:29 AM

me too but those record boxes are way easier to store!

i believe Capt jamesT was referring to the bunny luper grade goldtop p90.

Indeed. I think Chingo posted the early 90's RLG Goldtop with VH-1s with the misleading TRC that had a BIN of 59,800 from last week.

I like Slap's WAY better.

slapshot · 04-02-2011, 01:02 PM

me too.
anyone want a GT Greco? :P

slapshot · 04-02-2011, 09:23 PM

well that's late 80s/early 90s by the TRC & low script?

jacco · 04-03-2011, 03:46 PM

Yes indeed. But the P90 RLG60s only features in the 1982 to 1986 catalog.
Making use of my pot theory the winged TRC was first used in 1989. For some reason all these P90 RLG60s have a winged TRC. I would love to know what the pot codes are on that one

Do I understand this correctly, can you ask rinkya to mark the price down? Does Jauce also do this?

i never asked for them to do it. they just did. i have no clue as to why. i don't know about jauce.

JamesT · 04-16-2011, 04:28 PM

I've never asked Nichido at Jauce to mark anything down and I always have them attach the invoice to the outside of the box.

Of the 14-16 guitars I have purchased in the last six months, only one was docked with customs fees and that happened to be the only one that was shipped via Fedex rather than EMS.

all of my Rinkya purchases have been invoiced with the exact amount for the ending bid amount.

I for one am glad they invoice them as such, just in case there was ever a need to file an insurance claim; they wouldn't pay a claim for a value higher than declared on the invoice ..........

In the UK taxes come in at 20% of the purchase and shipping + additional charges unless it's under the tax limits. Considering how well packaged all my rinkya items have been I'd much rather take that risk as you'd be looking at around 1 in 4 to be damaged beyond repair for it not to be cost effective in being undervalued.
