Thanks to you guys who provide these services! Personally I don't wanna go through the hazzle of bidding on something that a) I don't know the condition of and b) something that I don't even know will be sent to me. My girlfriend runs her own company selling clothes (www.todiefor.se, she doesn't ship outside Sweden so this is not a plug ) so I know some of what it's like trying to run a business and how important it is that people actually see the benefits for the customers. As far as I know I can't find spherical cutters in Sweden so for me it's awesome that there are reputable sellers on the internet.Regards Emil

So far EXTREMELY good! Super customer service, fast shipping (5-6 days). Even though the dollar is really cheap it still ended up a tad pricey, $322 for the two Naka books and the spherical cutter (or a 1:6 of my monthly income after taxes) but what the heck...
edit: the additional cost is customs and various fees from customs and the Swedish Postal Service, and NOT from Bonsaimonk (http://www.bonsaimonk.com)

Emil,
Those 'across the pond' fees are killers aren't they. This works both ways and often folks here don't realize it when they are looking at prices on the other side of the pond! GETTING IT can easily double your cost, especially if you are unlucky enough to have a package that customs decides to check and run it through a broker. Dale

So true, Dale! The customs, taxes and other fees are $100 (that's shipping EXCLUDED). If I were to buy a pot for $30, the price would at least triple before I recieve it. For example:
Pot $30 Shipping $30-ish (as trackable EMS) Customs 3,5% (of the amount including shipping) $2,1 Taxes (another 25 15$Domestic shipping 10$ Postal fee $3,5 Total = $90
