Usually a lurker.
Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • Don’t forget about those prices:
    Price of the article

    • Shipping
    • Customs handling fees (at least in Germany and with DHL as the handler you can’t not have itbwithout jumping through some hoops. DHL Express does it free but you have to provide the info for customs)
      = customs fees (article + shipping (+6€ customs service by DHL) + import tax (in Germany 19%))

    And that quickly adds.
    So assume 100€ for PC (IMO highly unlikely for those specs)

    • 30€ Intl. shipping from US to Germany (Assumption the parcel weighs >5kg and is tracked)
    • 6€ for DHL
      = 136€
      136€ + 19% customs (either VAT or Import if it’s between private parties) = 161€

    (Depending on the price, customs may cite you to their office to open the parcel to proof if the contents of the parcel are correct the value goes over 150€)

    So yeah…Importing is quite a bitch.
    Better to search within the EU (assuming OP is from the European Union or Schengen region)
