Relax, it's down to $850 now. The only board member that I can think of that could possibly come up with 850 grand for an old King tuba would be Bloke of course but sadly it appears the opportunity has been taken away from him.

Um ... you DO realize that most Eastern European, African, Central and South American, and Southeast Asian countries, as well as several Western European countries (e.g., France, Germany, Netherlands, and the European Union, for that matter), and French Canada use a comma rather than a period as the decimal separator, don't you????

Here we write 1,00 not 1.00 only in this case: "1.000,00"
