I presume you mean '295', not 925. 925 was a Dolly Parton song wasn't it?
Price would reflect condition surely. I think £50 is common for a 940 on ebay.

Depends how the thing is "hyped up"! Most 940 heads now seem to get tagged "performance upgrade" (meaning on a smallbore engine), and can go way over the £50 mark. I think you could consider yourself lucky to get one below that, unless you live in Scotland, of course

The 295 heads would probably respect a higher premium still, due to the kudos attached to them!

Indeed -I used to pick up the 940 heads for £10/20 each - wish I had stashed away a few more...... In deed rare to see one go for less than £50 now. The 295 used to never sell for much less than £75 - and still that seems to be the case. the 940 is by far the better head - so it's a better buy!
