Terms & Conditions of Sale: Following some foreign enquiries, I feel the need to establish some sale conditions. Firstly my prices are in Pounds! (G.B.P. or Pounds Sterling) not Dollars ( although I would be happy to give a dollar quote); and definately not euros because I personally have no intention of joining the common market! I will accept cash; Postal Orders & English Bank Cheques. Foreign buyers must transfer pounds through their bank because International money orders are a rip-off! American buyers please note that I will accept U.S.dollars. That is cash (dollars bills) not checks or money orders! I will hold an instrument for up to seven days whilst establishing shipping (postal) costs & method of payment. That is as clear as I can make it but please contact me for further clarification, preferably by telephone, U.K. 01642 478859, typing email is far too time consuming for me!
