Hi Steve

I don't quite follow this about secondhand and vintage equipment?

Will it be illegal for example for a UK business to sell me a piece of 
secondhand or vintage equipment that is not RoHS compliant? And would 
this apply to private sales/purchases too? So, can an amateur radio 
retailer sell second-hand non-compliant equipment at-all after July?

I'm thinking also about my other hobby which is vintage HiFi. There is a 
big international market in this area and gear is bought and sold 
worldwide both by private individuals and by dealers.

Thanks
