I bought my Denon DP80 from Japan from an eBay seller Japan products. They packed it very well, so we'll I didn't find the platter immediately, it was underneath a piece of cardboard in the bottom of the box. Anyway, I had to pay import tax and vat before it was released from customs as expected. Only problem was the strobe light didn't work so I took it my tech mate who fixed it. Provided it's packed well and insured for the full amount shouldn't be a problem. But look at it as if you can afford to lose the money and takes yer chances.
