Sounds like a whole lotta dough for a 3 valve euph - compensated or not.
If you're any kind of euph player you're going to want a 4th valve.
If instruments aren't readily available in your country, don't be scared of buying from the UK! Shipping is cheap and quick. Since you're in the EC I'm pretty sure you wont pay ant import taxes.
Suggest either putting a Wanted Ad on the for sale section here (but make it clear you're in Europe - import taxes from the US will be a pain!) or on:
http://www.themouthpiece.com/
'TheMouthpiece' is not a site I enjoy but it has a huge number of British Banders with access to lots of used Euphs.
I wouldn't pay more than £1500 (E2000 or a bit more) for a good condition Sovereign 967/968 - 4 valves with compensating. There are a lot of these in the UK. If you want Melton, Willson etc etc you'd better look on the mainland (Bob Tucci would be a good place to start). Thinking about it I have a very good condition Courtios large bore Euph I might sell. Contact me if interested!!
