so when u bring in a fone, thats an additional 500 on top of what was being paid previously? so u bring in a 50 us fone, thats like 350 tt, that cost like 200 blanket sky box cost(being conservative cause recently i got a 400 skybox fee for a fone, buss bad on it), and then a 500 brokerage...
so now, the citizen will hadda pay over a grand for a 50 dollar US fone.
i bring in some fittings that was hard to find here, now u saying i might have to pay 500 additional for a lil 5 dollar US item? each?
