Noone is going to care about the upgrades or not.  If anything the second I see 'upgrade' I am avoiding like the plague, especially a high ROF RIF which just screams broken internal potential.  The money you are asking is ludicrous.  Entirely your right to do so but ludicrous none the less

Okay what about the rest?


"It's 'x' amount in the UK"

That's nice, it's £30 cheaper delivered with taxes from Taiwan.

You pay taxes at checkout on Aliexpress.

Wow. First not being able to spell the manufacturers name caught my attention (it's not like it's written on the box), then I saw the price at only £15 less than retail. Then I saw he wants £100 for shipping

Is the Modlite real @navyvet86? Would some what justify the price if it is. Spenny lights at the best of times.

But at that point once again, split it, because most people aren't going to give a shit and are just going to go "fuck me, that's expensive" Especially when there are currently 3 other TM MP7's for sale at half the price.

You clearly aren't up to date on import tax thresholds - unless it peaks over £135, the chance of being called up on the tax from china et al as less than 1%.

 

Aliexpress, as others have said pays the tax before shipping anyway.

Well, they bill the buyer for it.  I do wonder how much is rendered unto Caesar[*].

 

[*] Caesar Smith, he works in HMRC. Good bloke, very active in the local Rotary Club.
