Importing Speakers

[cheechm]

Hi there,
You guys are usually great on this, so was wondering if you could give me some advice. If I were to buy both of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electro-V...580?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae250cffc the total cost would come to USD$1227.28 or GBP£789.06.

To buy them in the UK would be about £1100. So what I'm wondering is how much will I actually pay to have them imported from the US (in terms of customs/VAT etc?)

Thanks

Ok here is another one. If I buy them new from the US they cost $600 each, so around £390. My dad would bring them back for me into the UK as he is frequently in the US. Given that you're allowed £300 allowance (he goes that often that I'll have them in less than 3 weeks if he brings them back 1 at a time), how much would I end up paying in taxes and stuff? Because surely only £85 would be taxed?
cheers

EDIT: Seems that I lie and the allowance is £390. Therefore he could bring it in absolutely tax free etc?
