Some years ago, as a survival gift to myself following major surgery (twice), I bought a Martin OM-28 Marquis from a US dealer. I got a few cents over $2 to the £ and, with the 40% (yes, that's FORTY - FOUR-ZERO - PERCENT!) discount US dealers will give, even after adding shipping costs, import duty and VAT, I saved at least £800 compared to UK prices.

Sadly, those days are now gone, thanks to the BrexShit Buffoonery.
