Well Stephen - it's love it or leave it; I don't believe that any 
price can be a moral crime (there are pretty many facts which come 
beforehand in the line ...). It's handmade and there is a chain of 
dealers in between the factory and us; that's it.

(Surely I would appreciate to get it cheaper. No discussion about 
that.)

Have a fine day anyway
Hubert
