Hi Phil,

Thanks for getting in touch and the detailed info.

The Travel Bass certainly looks interesting but it will have a limited 
market for resale. It's a bit of a risk for us so we have to factor this 
into the px price. We would offer £300 for this.

The Taylor BT2e we would offer £200.

I realise this is probably less than you hoped but it's the best we can 
do at the moment. If you do want to pop in and try out some acoustics, 
please just let us know.

Kind Regards,
Harriet
