Er Houston we have a problem

Begs the question why are you buying a second hand laptop off some dodgy USA based seller off ebay? Dell will do you a new one for around £500 quid

Er because it was cheaper than buying it in the UK.

Or terrorist plans. Oh suity what have you gotten yourself into? As if experimenting with causing explosions using microwave radiation wasn't risky enough

State secrets! The FBI will be all over Suity towers in the Next Hour! Run to the airport Suity, Russia will take you.

Suityleaks.

Is it still cheaper when you add on the VAT? I've found most things work out more expensive than sourcing them locally as the shipping is so much more.

Let's see.

Laptop cost £505
Shipping cost £55

Cost of new = £899

VAT on £560 = £112
Admin fee from post office = £25


Total = £697

Total saving £202

So yes, cheaper.

Item description is "New, unused" so it's not second hand. It does have a slight scratch on the lid though and the original packaging is missing.

If if does have any material on it other than the OOB operating system then it would not be "New/Unused".

You're VAT registered so your starting point was £741 for the new one and that's before getting a cash back option.

Dumb choice buying abroad.

That's to be determined, lets see once the VAT man has added his 20% on top!

So basically it's either a factory outlet type deal like Dell do, or an "unwanted gift" type thing from a private seller.

Don't forget you'll need a UK power supply for it.
