Thanks to Florian (TheFlow77) from whom I've just bought a 502 with MSR in a pleasant, straightforward, transaction. It arrived this morning, in excellent condition, immaculately packed, and is now set up and running.

For anyone in the UK thinking about buying gear from a European HH, here is a brief run-down of the process, so you know what to expect.

It took about 8 days from us agreeing, to me receiving the 502. I was on a business trip, so it took me a couple of days to get to my bank to initiate the payment. British high street banks can make a direct payment in Euros from a UK account to a European bank account. This is a Single Euro Area Credit Transfer - which costs GBP 15 (Barclays) or GBP 20 (Lloyds TSB). The process is very similar to a UK Faster Payment. You will need the IBAN and the recipient's name. Payment is received in the Euro Area account by close of business on the next day. Allow for a weekend. Shipment by DHL pickup in Germany on Monday, and arrived here in the UK at my home around 07:25 Wed.

Simple and straightforward.
