The only thing you need to be careful of when buying from dealers abroad on Ebay is customs charges! However, I bought my Nikon D70 from America via Ebay, and it still worked out about £200 cheaper than getting it from the UK - even with customs charges thrown in

I paid 69 quid for my Slingshot 200. Ok I could've paid £10 less (excl. P & P) but I got it there and then.
