Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 23, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2011 I got a couple of packages today of suff I had brought for the Suzi. One was some pattern parts for the far east and were what I ordered. The other was from German ebay. Here is the story The other week I managed to win 2 German ebay auctions from the same guy once I had clarified that he would combine the postage. The auctions only had a couple of bidders. One was for a side panel, 2 chrome exhaust shields and a painted secondary exhaust head shield (one auction). The other was a NOS Cylinder head. A big box turned up today. Opening it up there was a lot of German newspaper in the box. I rummage through and come across an air filter box and cover with the internal mesh still inside it (better that the one I have), next out was chain guard (better that the one I have, after that an oil tank with a cap (better that the one I have and I didn't have a cap), next was a headlight case, one again better that the one I have. Then came the side panel in Ok condition, the 2 chrome heat shields in great condition and the metal heat shield in great condition. Next out of the box was a very good condition kick starter. Lastly, and wrapped separately was the NOS cylinder head. So a big thank to to the guy in Germany who threw in all the extra stuff for free, a lot of it I needed or was better than what I had. How much was the stuff? Well the free stuff was free. The First auction for 4 items I won for £13 plus postage and the NOS head.................... Well pictures first and the price after................... Oh yes. The NOS head was £18 plus the combined postage...................

Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 23, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2011 u jammy f****r lol Thank you very much I look on foreign ebays now before the UK one for bits. You just need to be careful of pattern parts sold as NOS and any import tax liabilities if outside the EU. I have even forgiven the Germans for bombing our chip shop (well at least for tonight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 23, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2011 good find bud. I use germany for my xs bits, the only main issue is that they prefer bank transfer than paypal, but that is changing! Yep. I forgot that. I once had to go to the bank to pay £20 for an item and the bank (Nat Thieving B4stard West) charged me £20 for the privilege. Good find Dirty" , i have imported lots lately , Usa, Thialand, , i"v never been hit for tax , nor V.A.T. . & 1 Item was Barrels & pistons for H2 , £380. no import Tax ,,,,,whats changed. Couple of years ago. UPS. wouldn"t leave parcel without Excise duty, That was lucky. The import tax is hit and miss but if you have to pay it they tax the postage too so be prepared. Only had to pay once and that was a piece of junk from Canada for the DT. And it took 3 months to get here Also people need to be a ware that the customs folk can make up the "actual" value of the item so writing $5 - gift on the customs label may not work. I try and keep everything non eu to around £20 and anything bigger I budget for the tax and it is a bonus if I don't have to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 25, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2011 It does look odd. If you look at the spark plug hole on in the second picture there is the same type of run on the top of the head. It was a good bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
