Fly to Brazil with say 4 or so with fake receipts saying that they are over six months old and used. Then sell them to unfortunate gamers such as yourself at a reasonable price. Keeping in mind that I would have to make it high enough to be worth my time and money. Or maybe even trade them for gemstones. Any thoughts?

Custom taxes are a joke.
