Okay, there's a bass I'm interested in purchasing from a guy in the UK, and it's been a LONG time since I did this. Years ago (maybe 10 years ago?), I purchased an Ibanez Musician from a UK seller, and I arranged it through a 3rd party service (I can't recall the company's name), who arranged the collection of my funds and the pickup of the bass, shipping, clearance etc. It worked out great, though I'm recalling the cost was around $200+ to do everything.
So what are my best options/suggestions today? I obviously want to be as protected as possible, but also want to do this as economically as possible.
