NO.
UPS cheapest option - about 250$...plus
VAT, plus customs (you can add note that mpc is worth....49$ - that'a custom free....)
plus you need to buy power adaptor ( I wouldn't take cheap one .... remember mpc will cost ya at last about a 1k£...so you don't want to fry it with 10 quid adapter)
I know 'cause I live in London and I bought 3kLE 4 months ago from US...

ok, cheers for that.
Basicley, all i want to know now is really how much you would pay for one in the uk. Standard one like the second ebay link.

is £850 too much?

£700+ for a UK 220-240V Grey model with 32Mb RAM. £825 tops. LE's are a bit more fickle £900+

I suppose for a grey one thats higher than the UK err average. I've just noticed its says it uses a step down transformer so its probably a US import which in my opinion would make it less desirable and therefore cheaper.

£850 including postage is too expensive for this particular specimen if you ask me (which you are)

Chris I sense you are keen to get an MPC 3000, fine a lot of people are just don't make a rash decision. I won one off ebay for about £500 3 or months ago it was a bit tatty but still a bargain so they are out there. If you are paying top wack then you should expect a nice one...

and you're more likely to find one on the SOS ads than ebay, they also tend to be all down in London...

I clocked this one as well:

hah, ye i seen that come up loads.
Suppose you're right, allthough why would it be less desirable if its a US import? I basicley "need" one asap . . . for my own sanity mostly

I hope you're paying attention! One has come up on the SOS ads today

You need to check those ads daily, I used to a year or 2 back and got some right bargains
