Answer 1 :
Just get it sent to you. I buy stuff from the states a lot and never get customs stopping it. if they do stop it and you have to pay VAT then it will be on the value of the item, but their evalutation of the item will be different to yours...
Answer 2 :
i doubt you'd pay duty on that because few items of computer hardware these days attract duty, and even still, its not expensive enough to warrant import duty. so unless the postal service declare the value incorrectly i don't think you'll pay duty. its vat that will be applicable, even if its second hand. 17.5% of the value of the import, which in your case is your £77 + £30 postage. if your unsure, ring the import advice line - 0845 010 9000 option 2
