[QUOTE="Dawn mohrbavher, post: 238556, member: 4625"]So it sounds like you are hoping to import from the IS to the UK right? Let me give you my experience as I import from the UK to the US U.K. Items are at a premium in the US (thank you pbs). You will pay more for them in the US than in the U.K. So avoid anything UK. (Beatles etc). I'd go with unique uS items like civil war memorabilia. You will drop a pretty piece of change, as I do for UK antiquities, but I make my money on the fact that you can't get them here.... Not an antiquity, but here's an example. I sell silver sixpence (1900 too 1947) for 29.95 us. 1800 too 1899 for 49.85. Pre in the hundreds. I don't pay that for them. I sell them daily. I bought a 16th century box in the uk for around six hundred pounds. Sold five thousand. Just some random thoughts that might help.....think civil war or elvis But buy elsewhere. They are a tourist trap beyond belief.[/QUOTE]
