Anyone interested in a reliable safe source for US HD-DVD/Blu-Ray players?

Hi all,

Being a Canon Digital SLR owner I was over the moon to find someone who can supply US sourced Canon Lenses and accessories. This guy is quick, cheap and VERY reliable.

At the moment he supplies mainly Canon gear but I mentioned the fact that a lot of people are interested in getting hold of HDDVD and Blu-Ray players and he seems interested.....


Any takers?

He supplies US sourced Canon photography gear to people here in the UK at reduced prices. I told him people on the AV-Forums may be interested in him getting HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players for them....

Simple as that. He is willing to supply direct to people in the UK HDDVD and BluRay players sourced from the US.

Simply trying to gauge interest for him.

Your title says 'reliable and safe' but how can we know that? you yourself have no trader rating, and this American guy could be anyone. What guarantee do we have that this isn't a scam?
No offence!

No offence taken, I kinda knew when posting this that it may look a little suspicious. However I can assure you he is legit. If you search on ebay.co.uk for Kerso or at www.photography-on-the.net or www.eos-forums.com for Kerso you will see lots of positive feedback.

Hope that clears it up a little.

I'm hopefully going to be speaking to him tonight when I finish work as he wants details on what players people want etc. I'll post here when I've spoken to him, I'll also ask him to register here so he can talk to you all himself.

he'd most likely ship them from Scotland, thats what he does with his lenses. So shouldn't be any issue on duty

I'd be up for this if the price is right , ie the US price plus postage plus his cut. Not double the US price or anything crazy like that.
