Re: Carrera 18k - inputs needed
In Response To: Carrera 18k - inputs needed ()

Hi Marco,

nice Carrera as far as I can see, but remember, it's the (20 micron) gold-plated version, not the solid gold one (the latter, of course, would be much rarer and more expensive). Also keep in mind that you might possibly have to pay customs, even if the seller sends it as "gift". The people at the custom offices know the "tricks" of the people ... ;)

Greetings,
oliver
