DigitalRev for Sony a77, safe?

It seems to have a huge saving (£1199 compared to £1449 in Jessops). Will I have to pay VAT and will I ever receive the goods?

    What kind of feedback does the seller have?

    No VAT if it is being sent from anywhere within the EU: otherwise yes, be prepared to pay VAT as well as import duty.
  • It;s a seller from Hong Kong, they have 96.3% positive feedback. There are some critical negatives feedback though.

    Then I wouldn't bother . Taxes and duty etc to pay on arrival in UK and a very arge postal bill if you need to return item.
