You need to search for a 'Gebrauchtwaren Händler' shops who sell used items of all kind. Be aware in most cases laptops and PCs you buy in such a shop have NO guarantee so insist to try it in the shop before buying. You can search for Gebrauchtwaren Händler in either Yellow pages or the German telephone register or even with Google maps. Also check out the adds in the local newspapers most have online versions too. EDIT Gebrauchtwaren Händler do not only deal with used but also refurbished items. There is NO other place to shop for used / refurbished items you will have to tell the guys in the shop what exactly you are looking for.

I would look at Ebay or Craigslist These are your best options because you have all the info on hand. Frankly speaking, new laptops are so cheap nowadays, I don't see the need. 2nd hand shops are around, but you get what you pay for. Cheers from DOWNUNDER

Sure u can bring you laptop in you carry on bring an adapter, to switch it from 110 to 220/240. Use the professional traveler's rule of thumb when choosing luggage: a 29- or 30-inch case up to two weeks. Step 2 Devise a color-coordinated wardrobe with pieces that mix and match. Choose two or three color schemes to allow each item in your suitcase to do double duty. Dress in layers so you can adapt to changing temperature. Bring enough underwear for each day of your trip unless you'll be doing laundry. Step 3 Zip zippers and button buttons. Cushion garments inside and out with plastic coverings from the dry-cleaners or fold them in tissue paper as the retail stores do to minimize wrinkling. Step 4 Roll or fold clothes to fit the suitcase. Start by folding the garment into a large rectangle, and then tightly roll from the bottom up. Fold less wrinkle-prone clothes (pajamas, jeans) and place on the bottom. Step 5 Create two sections for garments in the order in which you plan to wear the items. Fill corners and edges with shoes (bagged and stuffed with underwear and socks). Top off with delicate items. Step 6 Pack travel-size toiletries and first aid supplies, including sunscreen, pain relievers and bandages, in zipper-lock plastic bags for easy identification. Place these in zippered or netted areas inside the luggage top or in an outside compartment or pocket. Step 7 Stash important papers and documents, including passports, tickets and credit cards, in a single closable file or envelope. Bring a money belt to keep your cash and travelers' checks safe while you and your hands are occupied. Photocopy passports (black-and-white copies only--color copies are illegal) and other ID and write down emergency numbers in case of loss or theft, and carry separately from real ones. ---------------------What Can I Bring in my Carry-on Luggage?----------------------------- TSA’s 3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure. Consolidate bottles into one bag and X-ray separately to speed screening. Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage. Declare larger liquids. Prescription medications, baby formula, juice and milk (when traveling with an infant or toddler) are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint. Come early and be patient. Heavy travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints.

how much tax to I have to pay on a laptop imported from the USA to Germany?
Hello! My brother wants to send me a notebook computer from the USA. But I said, "Wait! I think maybe I need to pay an import tax." Do you know how much I have to pay? The notebook is worth 468 Euros. I looked on the website, but I could not find the answer to my question. Thank you! Mit freundlichen Grussen,

Hello There ! Most likely you will have to pay import taxes and / or Mehrwertsteuer. You can find further information here: http://www.zoll.de/faq/postverkehr/index.html The value exceeds the gift threshold. It might be declared as used, since your brother probably used it a couple of hours ;-) Good luck!
