Most people selling this type of stuff are very genuine. My most recent purchase was the valve cage for my Jadis amp. Guy was a pleasure to deal with. In the opposite direction I sold my previous Jadis amp to a lady in Poland. It all also went very smoothly. Over a year later I got photo's of the amp in situ with her new speakers.

On the opposite end I enquired about Spendor speakers for sale at what seemed a great price. Some weird Irish ad site. The seller it seemed was in Tipperary so no worries I could just head down to collect them. Made contact and the guy turns out to be in Italy :)
That's reassuring - I sold a naim UQ2 to a buyer in Italy via adverts.ie, bank transfer in advance of shipment; nice that our collective honesty is rewarded.

Aside from Cloney - who have a great turnover now in used gear - the NI dealers (Kronos and Lyric in particular) can ship here without tariffs too given the terms of the much discussed NI Protocol.

I'd certainly keep that in mind.

Good to know - thank you, I'll keep an eye on their websites too.
