I am biased on this one - the seller and I have bad blood going way back -but it appears that he is being honorable on ebay so he's probably fine to deal with.
An NOS Raleigh pro is in no way comparable to an NOS Masi for a simple reason - there were many hundreds if not thousands of these brought to the US. There was only a handful of Masi's even built in a given year. Heck, I bought about 6 NOS Raleighs from one dealer years ago - but a number of dealers were sitting on these. The bike is a wonderful find, and the price on ebay is more than fair. But its like finding a brand new 1968 Cadilac brand new and perfectly preserved compared to finding a 12 cylinder Ferarri perfectly preserved and undriven (hard actually to have happen with a car).
