[Leica] WTB : Leica 21mm f2.8 ASPH in silver (UK)

To state the obvious, that is illegal. If you are happy with breaking the 
law then fine. Also there is the question of insurance. If you state that an 
item is only worth a small amount of money and it goes missing who picks up 
the tab? I doubt that it will be the mail company.

If you are shipping lots of items them you could argue that as a seller the 
cost of occasionally losing an item in transit will be less than the total 
cost of insurance if you declared the value of everything correctly. For an 
individual shipping very occasional items this is far less likely to apply 
and you may well lose money on the deal.
