Hello All,

It seems like the NX1 is still available from South Korean dealers on eBay. Has anyone purchased an NX1 from a South Korean dealer on eBay?

Not an NX1, but several lenses and two SEF580As.

If so, any idea how the import tariffs / duties work?

Would help if we knew where you are.  Here in Qatar just the standard customs fee (< 20 USD).

How much is it and can you pay for those thru eBay?

In my case to Qatar it could not be paid through Ebay, it is paid on delivery at the post office or to the major carriers (e.g. DHL, FEDEX, etc...).

This is separate from the shipping fee (if any), which is paid through Ebay in my experience.   All the Korean and Japanese dealers I have dealt with shipped promptly and had quick shipping times go Qatar, usually under a week.  In stark contrast to e.g. Chinese post, where a month is often a pretty good shipping time and it isn't unusual for a package to take two or three.

I'm sorry for the dumb questions...

Thanks

From someone kicking themselves in the head for selling his NX1.......
