    off of a dodgy HK dealer on ebay..:eek:

    Out of ten whats the chances of it getting stopped for customs ?

    Seemed worth the risk as they are €100 less than pixmania here

    If it was a "dodgy" HK dealer, why go with him in the first place? Why not try Kea Photo or UR Galaxy.

    alright he's probably not dodgy (he has great feedback) .. I think I'm just having buyers remorse is all.

    also Kea photo don't have any panasonics and I can't find "UR Galaxy" .. do you have a link

    Think the sticky has the link, that's where I found mine before. I suppose customs is a bit hit and miss but coming up to Christmas they might step up their efforts like last year.

    I usually get a load of stuff over the internet around christmas time so id say its a fair bit easier to get past customs now than other times of the year.,

    thats hard luck getting charged, at least its still cheaper than pixmania

    would recommend this crowd http://search.ebay.ie/_W0QQsassZemilyandlily for getting a decent value lumix's shipped from england. At least its where i got one before

    also have pixmania dropped the price recently seems they have the fz18 for 370, silver one is still 455

    looks like pixmania have dropped the price alright for the black one, thats an excelent price, would have bought there if they had done it sooner!
