Lets just say I were to land in JHB with $125 worth of guitar hero stuff, how much would the nice man at customs extort me for?

Hide it in your luggage, smile at the offical and say "nothing to declare" and walk on.
I did this bring games back from London, and a friend hid guitar hero stuff in a real guitar back. He said he was in a band.

- Yes, with complete randomness
If you declare and the value of your goods is above a certain amount (different limits for different categories), then you pay up, if it's not you carry on walking. If I were you I'd just carry on walking and if given any grief about it just plead ignorace and say 'I was told this isn't valuable enough to declare, I thought that was only for laptops, etc' Make like it's a toy or something.
