I see a lot of very expensive S10s on eBay, is really 130-200£ the real price for a good old S10?

no, it's grossly overpriced due to the corona madness. Honestly I'd just avoid getting one for the time, or ever
Do you think I’ll find others for lower prices in the future? What’s the right price for the S10?
there is no right price. It's a very common gen 4 mask, the right price would be 40 £ at most in my opinion, but I think you'll be able to find them at least for 70 £, if not more. Why do you want one anyways?
Any mask can be used for training (career USAF vet here with MANY 12hr shifts in MOPP 4 in hot climates including Desert Shield/Storm) and combat if it's serviceable. This is the worst time (well, second worst, worst would be real world CBRN attack) to hunt military masks. I would look for EU-spec civilian respirators which meet desired filtration specfications but are less well known than the masks everyone wants if you want something to protect you from "current events". For training a mask doesn't even need to be serviceable for combat so long as it's wearable and doesn't fog badly. Misery builds character so instead of looking for an ideal mask I'd (as infantry say) "embrace the suck" and get to training. Military forces issue older masks for training in expectation some will be damaged and use expired filters. This saves new masks for combat. BTW if your head harness is comfortable your mask is probably not sealing well. A major reason for fit testing is it shows users how snug their mask must be to be effective.
yes, exactly. In Italy you might easily get a C607 or some other pano mask for very little. If you decide that you want only a mask with all the gizmos of an S10, there aren't cheap option rn.
Thanks for your replies. So I believe I'll continue to use the French ARF-A. One problem the French mask have is that is not that easy to deploy it fast due to the harness type, especially with gloves on and stress conditions.
