George i echo what you are saying, the £500 quote was an example saying, yes you will get hammered with import costs spending this amount of cash, nothing more ..
I fully understand people can not afford the luxuries that others can, and this is what we are about ... I know for a fact behind the scenes we are involved in posting some of our items off to each other at no costs, this happens on other sites that is out of our reach and which we can't get involved without costs, the more we grow here the better it will be for all of us, so please carry on doing what is needed here and who knows, what you are asking for and what we all want to happen may just come to fruition ...
