Knight console

[Barrie Heaton]

Knights only make 5 models 

York
London
K10 Slim line
Savoy
K10 School

Prices range from £4777   to just over £6700.00  RRP
$7,778.51    to $10,921.00   plus import tax and the retailers in the UK
work on a smaller  profit margin than the US so I am told.  

The above prices are 1996 prices plus at the moment Knights are not
exported to the US may be after JAN99.

So I would up your price a bit if you are using the price of a new one
as a bench mark.  Personally, I would not do it that way.  I would look
at similar makes of the same age and see what they are feting.

Barrie,
