Only took a few days, cost something like £100 for shipping (air).
Just make sure you buy from someone who has experience of packing for air shipping and filling in the paperwork for duty/VAT calcs.

If someone buys from their ad, then they'll go buy it from whoever the seller is (generally a shop).
Actually had my eye on several. Most of the big Tokyo dealers (Ishibashi, Ikebe, Kurosawa, NicoNico) are extremely well setup for international buyers and will help any way they can. And the Yen is low right now so used prices tend to be quite competitive for the first time in at least 10 years.
that might go some way towards covering the shipping and impost costs.
Cheers,
Ben.

A new premium range Tokai LP will only be slightly over your budget.
FFS, don't share secrets like that. Customs had never heard of that one before.
Oh come on Tony - it's a masterplan.
Ishibashi and another large place that I cannot remember the name of!
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
