Correct! 24TE 127 is 2k'ish cheaper than 24TE 200, being touted at Bournemouth for £4495! Even then it is not selling.....

The amount being asked for Greeves (particularly trials bikes) seems to have escalated out of all proportions, why do owners/dealers seem to think they are worth double their true value.
Lots of speculators and 'back yard' eBay dealers out there. Thus putting genuine younger buyers looking to get into the classic bike scene a foot on the ladder.
This subject recently created a lot of discussion on the Greeves FB pages recently.
I think these people have been watching too much 'Bargain Hunt' & 'Antiques Road Trip' reality TV shows where people by stuff at antique fairs & shops and then try to double their money in an auction, often I might add resulting in a significant loss.
