I just bought a Speedy 25 from a MPRS in the UK -- I chose this one because it is made in France (and almost new -- hardly any patina). But, by the time I paid for the more expensive shipping ($43 versus it is usually $25 or less within the US), and also had to pay the bank $25 for an international money order in GPS -- and accept the bank's conversion rate -- I wound up paying nearly as much as getting a new one here. But, all that will be forgotten when I get it!! (Of course, I have to wait longer. . . . .)
