[PRODIG] buying abroad

[edward bowman]

I don’t enjoy telling derogatory tales about myself but here is one. I 
bought a little digital notebook camera from a site on e bay. The 
sellers appeared as if they were in the U.K. but the camera was 
imported from Hong Kong. The price was very attractive and greed 
overtook caution. There was a substantial charge for packing and 
postage. After a fairly long delay the camera arrived in an envelope, 
the camera box covered with a suggestion of bubble wrap; but with a 
huge import charge plus a parcel post handling charge. It turned out 
that it would have been cheaper to buy off the shelf from John Lewis 
here in London. These extra charges are not mentioned on the 
advertisement on e- bay. I read from time to time of members importing 
equipment from abroad; but in my case, never again. Furthermore it 
serves me right.
