I'm a bit annoyed at the latest request that I falsely put a value of $25 on
a customs form.  At least he's asking before he bids.  Would someone in
Europe please comment on customs duties and lying on forms?

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

I only can speak for Dutch customs,(but I think it's not that differnet for
the other EU countries) but when a computer part costs more then ~35,-
euro's you have to pay a tax of 30% of the combined price (item + shipping).
Regardless if it's new or used....
It's not that poeple don't want to pay taxes but to pay 30%.... And also
over the transport feels not very fair.
