Hi Karl,

We are being realistic with our valuation and wouldn't offer any more.

Rich Tone have one currently listed at £1699 on their website and it 
hasn't sold.....this gives us a good idea of the current market value.

Feel free to try and sell it privately yourself and you should get more 
than we are offering.

Kind Regards,
Harriet, Phil & Tim
Express Music
