Prices in the UK
« on: October 17, 2016, 02:49:32 AM »
I called into one of my local shops yesterday and was shocked at the prices. All the Taylors have just gone up by XX% An 814ce/816ce now costs XX% more than when I bought mine 2 1/2 years ago! That's a lot of money but it makes my Custom GS seem like a bargain, even with shipping and duty charges it was only a couple of hundred pounds more than the street price of an 800 series.

Rant over

I'd dearly love a 612ce but at around 1/8th of my annual salary it's not justify-able.

I'll have to make do with my 114 & GS Mini.
