I got one in perfect, as new condition for £85. Still daft money for a 2nd hand saddle, but so worth it.
I do think it takes the piss though. I reckon they know that a guy with saddle problems is going to pay way over the odds if it means removing the risk of damaging the crown jewels, so they try it on. There is nothing about these saddles to justify why they're so much more expensive than the rest of the range (for standard non-fancy-all-carbon jobbies). Same with SMP. If you're considering one, then they already know they have you over the barrel so can screw you.
