Yeah, it is generally accepted good form that pricing queries are kept to PM's.
£500 for a '62 RI Non Export Japanese jazz is a very good price, take your time Jonnyj, I would bet there is somebody desperately hoping it doesn't go before they get the money.
It's hard out there at the moment, I have had no near offers for my immaculate Orange SP212 but I'm buggered if I'm going to let it go for stupid money.
Hang on in there if you can afford to, and good luck,
Karl.
