And even if you are a dealer, the VAT seems high on a used item (mint as it may be). When I lived in Switzerland (i.e. outside the EU) and I bought a used item from a dealer within the EU, the VAT refund usually amounted to only 5% or so, because on used items dealers only charge VAT on their margin, not on the full price.
