#174069 - Hah!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I have been buying a lot of very nice, old, test- and measurement equipment on E-bay lately. Now, I understand, but not necessarily agree ;-), I have to pay VAT when importing this stuff. The Dutch Taxman (name unknown), however, seems to think I should pay this not on the item price, but on the total, including shipping!

When you're buying the kind of boat-anchors I'm after, shipping is often about as much as the price of the item.

So far, they haven't even responded to my complaints :-(
