Guys, I thought you might like to know that I clicked on the "Contact us" button last night and, after exchanging several emails with Mark Firth at Edwards of Manchester, I ordered a stock model EG Westminster (double monk) at the 20% off discounted price and without VAT, even though it isn't listed among their current stock. Since EG doesn't have my size in stock it will take about 6 weeks for delivery, but the price (shipped) of ca. $705 is less than I could get on ebay, if the shoes ever appeared.
Let the feeding frenzy begin (with apologies to those of you guarding your wallets).
