Yeah, in Italy if the goods are blocked in Customs for private people it is rather ugly handling the documents.
I just found something acceptable on Amazon.DE for about 15€ only without shipping problems to Italy, so that problem is solved. A pity tough, that one has SVHS output, on Amazon.co.uk there would have been another for slightly more one with RGB (in Scart) output, but that one won't be shipped to Italy either (Some Amazon limitation I don't understand). Around here I found only really low quality stuff, or rather good with High-Def and among others Component connectors, for adequate prices.
