Right now, with the USD so strong against the GBP, it's ridiculous how inexpensive some instruments are. At today's exchange rate, a Buffet R-13 from Howarth is $2,574.03.
Of course, there is the addition of the $75+ for CITES paperwork and the several weeks' delay, plus another $100 or so for shipping. Then, for warranty service, you would have to get it through the seller, which can be problematic if they are thousands of miles away on the other side of the planet.
Given some of the quality control issues we've been seeing with some instruments, it's too much of a risk.
