Selling risk

Need advice on the risk of having my collar felt if I start selling in the UK..

I've a few amateur tapes that I have full copyright for. Would like to copy and sell, via small add in the Sport of similar. Don't want to go R18 route, just want to test the water for 6 months, looking to sell maybe a dozen tapes a week.

1/ Should I risk using a UK PO Box and stay as anonymous as possible - the simplest way, or...

2/ Get a European PO Box or accommodation address and have the mail forwarded to the UK - but who can I trust in Europe to do this reliably, any recommendations?

Cheers

Steph

i think you will find that even DS requires confirmation that any tape advertised has a certification before accepting any ad you might want to put in.

wouldn't have thought so, not in the small ads at the back, as long as he gets his money

Just be aware that UK PO boxes are not anonymous at all - anyone can contact Royal Mail (or whatever the hell they call themselves nowadays) and they have to provide the address the box is registered to

Yes, best leave this kind of thing to the experts. There's no dough left in the job anymore, but you could still end-up having your collar felt. Take heed of those who know and have learned the hard way.

A thought:

Digitise your vids onto pc, then upoad them onto the internet, say of a free hosted usa site.

Lets face it, i am sure that the polics read the sun or sport from time to time and check out the adds.

I love that bit "digitise your vids onto a pc"
from a man who did not know where to get BBFC certification.
Don't get me wrong Allan, I admire a trier, but having built a website (of whatever quality) don't make a mug of yourself as you have done recently.
Do some homework & try not to come accross as a smart alec.
