He uses BidPay.com - bit like a postal order. You pay for this via credit/debit card and this is sent to him to pay for the auction. Costs an extra couple of quid but still waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy cheaper than here.

Bear in mind extra charges for Import and delivery. I bought my Hifonics amp from him, which cost around £40 in postage and £15ish in import duty.

Uk cost was around £500
I paid nearer £200

I bought from him a year ago when his feedback was like 140 now its over 10,699!!!

I would be happy to buy from him again, and probably will pretty soon - new sub for the coupe me thinks

It would work fine, its the radio thats dodgy. You'll get things like Radio 1 etc but local stations are usually out of it tuning curve. However, most Alpine and Clarions are now Europe friendly so may be. Have a look on the US Alpine website for the technical spec and look for something like Euro tuner.
