I'd imagine the customs charges on something that expensive will be enormous, as the shipping gets added to the total before they work out the VAT you owe.

£342 is the cheapest i can find in the UK: http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/2384 ... h-TC5-Grey, although i can't see a black Monolith anywhere, just the grey one. You can get the plain black 1100 for £199 though if you can go without the graphics to save £200.

Not only is that illegal for them to do, it's also illegal for you to accept it. Plus, customs are pretty clued up on it now and will check anything that looks unlikely to be £50 worth to make sure. Finally, if something fucks up during transport, it'll only be insured for £50 of the value as that's what you've declared, and they might not give you anything if they discover it was mislabelled. If it all works ok, then it's fine and you save loads, but it's an awful lot of illegal hassle if it goes tits up.
