Happy to assist. If you buy, please let us know if setting timezone changes language i.e. good for us to know if someone's NX1 dies and decides to purchase replacement  from Korea

Re: samsung nx1 from korea.

What website did you use to buy it? Had a look on gmarket and the prices were quite high. I think they only sell new ones there.

I am looking for one with the 16-50 Pro lens

Here's a useful site for finding items from Korea: https://shopping.naver.com/

I haven't seen any NX-M mount adapters there unfortunately. They occasionally show up on eBay though.

I have an NX-M adapter for my NX Mini, but I don't want to split them up.

Wow, thank you so much for this! I gather it is a Google type of service holding retailers items. I noticed Gmarket listings as well and such good prices!

What is your advice on using this? Should I stick with platinum sellers? How do I know which condition is the item in / or are all listings for new/refurbished products?

Any idea of how much VAT and custom tax in UK for a value of max £1000?

It's similar to Google Shopping but you'll see some results are from Naver's own Smart Store, which is like eBay stores.

What is your advice on using this?

I find sorting by "registration date" (등록일순) useful, to see newly listed items first.

The "price comparison" (가격비교) tab is helpful for narrowing down searches. It shows fewer results, but tries to only list unique entries, so you can find the name of a specific product in Korean, and then use that to search.

Should I stick with platinum sellers?

It's a good idea. Also, check my answer to the next question.

How do I know which condition is the item in / or are all listings for new/refurbished products?

상품타입(전체) Product Type (All)

  • 중고보기 Show only used
  • 중고제외 Excluding used
  • 해외직구제외 Excluding direct import

Used items have a small blue "used" (중고) indicator next to the title.

Direct import (i.e. shipped from elsewhere than South Korea) items have a blue indicator too, which says "overseas" (해외). You'll probably want to avoid those. In any case, it's worth checking AliExpress for lower prices.

There's no filtering option for refurbished.

Any idea of how much VAT and custom tax in UK for a value of max £1000?

I've not looked into UK taxes. If you were to use a forwarding service, they could likely tell you what taxes would be incurred.

Re: samsung nx1 from korea.

Thanks all! Happy new year.

That price from the Korean seller on ebay is crazy! Too expensive.  The search goes on.
