    I think it depends on the country and what the VAT rate is there I think

    I wonder why they are zero rates. Oh well.

    Maybe because they are part used. So gross will be the same as the net value as 0 vat

    My opinion is that it is a standard rate sale so 20% VAT should be charged, as they are second hand you may be able to use the margin scheme or the global accounting scheme.
