I found it for £474.99 on expansys and for £442.80 on clove.co.uk, but ive never heard of clove before and im not sure if they are a reputable company.

If anybody can point me to any better deals or tell me if clove is any good or not I will very much appreciate it

Other than ebay, the cheapest I found was Tesco for £430. And everyone knows someone who works for them so 10% off that too.
