Hate to comment on people saying 'peanuts for less' or 'Quality for more'....Dear Davidgood I am not a merchant banker or a peasant but I do have my own preferences...
I will not comment on someone's personal's situation or taste and will ask you to refrain from doing so 'take it or leave it' your choice.
This is a forum and we are all entitled to share our experiences and you to 'ave an opinion on them (but not personal where you start guessing what I do for living or any one does)
If you don't like something which is out of your price range you can always say 'too expensive for me' rather than getting personal...else we can take it to moderator 
Each to there own , pay what you happy to pay , however to me anything less than a £100 and there
Is risk , more than £150 and it's likely your paying to much .
Steve is highly experience and has a skill to find VFM punts .
Paying more does not always help avoid a bad punt .
What people can afford or are prepared to pay is I agree not a matter for the forum , but that
Of personal choice .
That's my view
