Not being a sales agent, nor collecting commission fees I still might want to get the message of this posting a bit better through the waters of the Atlantic::
"perinet-valves" ( Perinet Ventile in German) are called pistons in English.
"5.900?¬" is not expressing that the price can be paid in a currency of the buyers liking. Rather it is a sample of the real life outspeeding the ASCII standard. The composite "?¬" sign symbolises the new Euro currency. 5900 Euros would equal something like $5.264 (Disclaimer: I will not be respnsible for any miscalculations and/or fluctuations in exchange rates). Depending on country of the buyer there will be shippeng and taxes of varying sizes.
But to me the biggest mystery of the advertisement remains unsolved:
I can not find a 3/4 CC piston tuba documented on the RM site linked to below.
