Since I'm not aware of any current offers on the list for this one, and sin ce Lickton's is an LBS of sorts, I will observe that they really are quite competitive on Brooks, and in particular, they have the best price I've yet seen on the relatively new steel railed Swallow. But most of the seller s more closely associated with CR don't seem to have the steel railed Swall ow yet, so perhaps they will be able to match or beat Bob Lickton.

Fair enough.
Apologies to all - didn't mean to be rude but managed to be so, anyway.

You know, it's not intentional, I know but it is just not good form, manners or something to "put it in someone's face" that something they are selling can be bought cheaper somewhere else.
I don't mean to pick on you in particular John, but this has happened a few other times on this list and I don't think it is something that we would do if we were all friends standing around talking in my garage. At least I hope not.
If we know somewhere something is cheaper (there is ALWAYS somewhere cheaper) just smile to yourself and go buy it. But don't emabarrass your CR friends by rubbing their noses in it in public.
Or, as a private message, you might wrote that person and say "Psst, just as a heads up, I saw them for less here____." That's more helpful
and something that might be done among friends.
