I am pretty sure this is the seller:
(just a small part of his collection)
When I was communicating 4 years back he had a shit load more than this:

Hmmm... this is a pretty huge collection, but not really that interesting to be honest. (Going by what's on his website)
None of the cool Epiphones from the 60s (Riviera, Wilshire, etc.), not a single Guild (seriously?), none of the rad 70s Teles, no Bass VI? No SGs whatsoever.
I guess I just don't get the appeal of 40+ vintage strats...

I hope all those stands are nitro-safe.... For our sakes, not his. Anyone who collects guitars and stashes them away like that can do one.
(Forgive my assumptions that he doesn't play them but I gig 150+ times a year and there's no way I'd be able to play all those in the picture enough to justify not letting someone else use them)

Rather ostentatious
Another point is some sellers don’t have the appetite for CITES but might be persuaded if the price is right.

Having gone through the official CITES channels with a purchase back in 2021 shipping Brazilian from the US to the UK, I can wholeheartedly say it's a massive PITA and I'm not surprised people don't wanna do it.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

I agree. I don’t think I’d bother.
