: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : treborre August 31, 2005, 04:04:17 AM Can you tell me folks if i over paid for these box's?
I bought three sealed Azkaban update boxes prices below: UK £24.99 £22.99 £29.95 Purchased off :ebay: ??? Can't wait for them to turn up! : Re: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : Roz August 31, 2005, 04:53:06 AM Hi and welcome - they sound like a bonanza deal to me, they cost considerably more to dealers at wholesale price (i.e. over 25 cases) to start with.
It's hard to compare our prices to US ones because of the postage costs involved of importing boxes, not to mention the 17.5% tax plus the administration charge £8! : Re: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : LikORish-Spider August 31, 2005, 06:56:36 AM Hi and welcome - they sound like a bonanza deal to me, they cost considerably more to dealers at wholesale price (i.e. over 25 cases) to start with.

I'm always amazed to see the duty you guys pay in the UK. We have it too, but it's on luxury items like jewelry, tobacco, perfume, cars, booze, silk, fine porceline, etc. None on printed matter. Cards are printed matter. And an administrative fee....geez, don't your taxes pay for keeping the government running? : Re: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : canny19 August 31, 2005, 07:27:57 AM Are they retail or hobby boxes?
I hope that they are hobby! Chris : Re: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : Nienna August 31, 2005, 07:29:03 AM ... not to mention other so-called 'luxury goods' we have to pay VAT on .... I won't go on, see the other place where I've just referred to it!! :-\
Perhaps that would explain why so many of us here in the UK are so reluctant to pay Duty on top of all this lot when we buy from abroad ... we're fleeced left right and centre! >:( : Re: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : Roz August 31, 2005, 01:27:07 PM Everything we pay tax on is classed as a luxury good - for example - we pay taxes on cake but not on biscuits.... we have a national health service free for all to run with our taxes you know ;)
: Re: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : Morningangel-Iola August 31, 2005, 07:34:44 PM Its the way certain 'womens' products are classed as luxury they aren't a flamin luxury I tell you >:()
: Re: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : Nienna August 31, 2005, 08:04:19 PM Sorry to send this so far off-topic, but I certainly seem to have hit a raw nerve over the taxing of so-called women's "luxury" items!! :o :-\
Sorry Roz ... ;) : Re: Bought three Azkaban update sealed boxes : Roz August 31, 2005, 09:46:17 PM That's right, we need them every month for our own self indulgence ;)
Anyway - it's amazing how OT we can go ;D |
