importing used electronics from the US

hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has managed to import used gadgets/electronics from the US. I'm specifically looking to buy some used IEMs and headphones from fellow members of an audio forum in the US. I would like to avoid to customs hassles and having to pay hefty customs duties. I also see a lot of sites providing PO boxes in the US to get your stuff delivered to and they ship it to India and take care of the customs: do they help with used goods? most of the items i'm looking at are $200-300 in value (value at which I'm buying; not new retail price)
any inputs/prior experience would be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance
 
thanks for the responses guys.
any idea if the customs duty is less if the item is a used one and was bought for a lower than retail price?
