Hi, After digging thru ebay I have found a couple of really well priced PRS's Simple question, do I get hit with VAT and the like if I buy from states? The sellers are shops rather that individuals. Thanks

as a rough figure, add on an extra 25%*. This is very close to what you will be paying. Keep in mind that when the guitar gets to your door you need to pay in cash to the postman for customs charges+V.A.T.+An Post admin fee.

*(possibly slightly over what it will be, better safe than sorry)
