Are my prices a little high on these guys?

[Miller]

My opinion yes but if someone wants it they will pay the piper... I am interested in the Puffin but not at that price so I guess I'm somewhat biased with my opinion...

[speedyj]

How does £350 for the Puffin and £300 for the Quintet Bronze sound.

Puffin cost £399usd plus delivery and import od around another 80usd.

Quintet Bronze is £500 minimum online and in very ggod condition.

Delivery will be insured and signed for.
