As for declared lower value,i always ask the same thing from the seller.
We in Croatia need to pay 25% import price...so you can understand it raise the price of the cue/case.This is nothing abnormal in my eyes....

I understand the high taxes and the concept of the lower declared value,but how do you insure an item for full value,if you declare it's value as lower than the actual value? What if it gets damaged or lost? Thanks.

Ok, as this post is about me, I assume that I have rights to answer)
I send my last PM to Rain-Man for all of you AZ members to clear this situation.
"Dear Rain-Man!
I was suprised by your reaction on my PM, that I sent you yesterday. I offered you a 700+ dollars deal and I was ready to send the money, but you simply wrote me nothing...Though you were online for many times and I saw it and waited for the answer. I sent you 2 more PM, but the reaction was the same. I have a big doubt, that you inquired the shipping fees all that time, because I also work in a trade company and it would take me 1 phone call to solve such a problem.
They say when you want to sell something, you sell not the item, but your attitude to the client. In that particular case your attitude didn't satisfy me )
I wish you well and best of luck in your future deals
P.S. I found a new black P3 with weight kit. And the seller sent me the invoice in 10 minutes )
Regards,
Eugene"
Now you tell me where did I go wrong?
I want to buy the cue, but the seller simply ignored me for 24 hours...while answering other threads on this forum.
I think it's not an attitude that a real buyer should receive...
Judge me )
Best regards,
Jekka

Payment via Western Union and you have no worries. With that type of payment you can declare any value the buyer wishes.
Offcourse the risk is mine....i ask the seller to do that....but never have a problem with insured lower value....cca 200-300 is enough, pay taxes only on that ammount...but the shippment is safe,at least some... is not the perfect way,but for me is the best way.Somebody else can choose different metod for sure.....and im talking expensive cues,3k + ..... all my friends do the same way
You can't. Most shippers will only cover up to the declared value. I understand that there are typically import/duty taxes that are involved when shipping outside to US into another country, but that is part of doing overseas business. If you're purchasing from an internet retail site, there is no getting around the duties...so why should it be any different with a private sale?
I have done business with an overseas buyer, and I did as he requested as I was told there would be no liability on my part should something happen, however....I still didn't feel comfortable about it. I stressed over it until the item had arrived safely. But it is something I will likely never do again, because now there are even more issues....involving endangered wood species and elephant ivory, to be mindful of. Just too much of a hassle, IMHO.

Thanks for the response.I recently sent 4 thousand bucks to Singapore,for 2 cues with Ivory.They were stuck in customs for app 10 days while I stressed about receiving them.When they finally arrived,they had a declared value of $200.00. NEVER AGAIN! Full insurance or escrow only.It's just too risky (for me)
BR,Marc
Exactly!! You're very lucky they did not get seized, because of the ivory. Also, too often, when a cue is coming from overseas to the US, depending from where, of course...there is a chance that they are not going to acclimate well and may move. Just far too many variables for an overseas deal to go sour, and little recourse if it does.
Dear AZers, we are moving away from the main idea of this thread )
Rain-Man says that I'm not a fair person, but what he exactly talks about?
I don't want to deal with him, because he ignored my 3 PM's for a long time, being online and answering other threads, that were less worthy than my question. He could only send me a short PM, that he is studying my question and that will satisfy me well. But he was keeping silent )
How many of you will do the same way, if I told you, that the cash is ready to be send? I think no one...

Yep,yep....i need to explain better...i always pay first,and after the seller receive the money he send the cue,and is always by bank transfer as i dont have pay-pal account,and western is to expensive.
Offcourse this is all to protect the seller....
And offcourse i dont buy cues from everybody....first i choose the seller,then i choose the cue...since i send the money first i want to know that the seller is honest person.
Like i say....nothing is perfect, but for me,and in my experience is the best way
And why you started this thread?
I will send 100% money to seller, as I would do to you, because I have zero iTrader.
You are trying to ruin my reputation here on AZ without any reason. Read your 1st post and you will realize it.
I didn't write a single bad word to you, only good wishes, and you are trying to blame me in something I hadn't done.
Now I think I'm lucky not to complete this deal with you.
All the best,
Eugene
I posted this PM because Rain-Man is trying to blame me in something, that's all
Regards
Here is how I see things.
Here in US it is a common courtesy to allow 24 hours for an answer. If a person chooses to answer faster - fine but, give him/her at least 24 hours to think/decide/research before replying.
Now, look at it from seller's point of view. You are new here, just joined AZ, no iTrader, no posts. And when negotiating a deal, you ask to ship overseas, you ask to declare lower value on the cue. And on top of that you get pushy - "Oh, I saw you online many times, why are you not answering me"....You get the picture?
In my opinion anyone would get suspicious.
Plus, it has happened many times when international buyer/seller paid using PP and then another party received email stating that stolen credit card was used to do the transaction and therefore PP will reverse it. Now, seller is out of cue and money.
No accusations here but, just put yourself in a place of seller and think a little. You work for a trade company(per your comment) so you should understand.
If I was in seller's shoes in this deal, I would back out immediately.
What I am trying to say here - do not rush to blame, look in to your actions and see if perhaps there is something wrong on your end as well.
