How much did/would you pay for a Victorian internal door with stained glass?

I want a new porch door for my Victorian house. I have a hideous 1980s thing at the moment and I'd like to replace with a paneled Victorian door with stained glass at the top.

I've been looking around online and they all seem really really expensive but I'm not sure if that's just the area I'm in.

I love this one but it's so expensive.

Same with this one

If you've bought a Victorian porch door, how much did you pay, please? Or how much would you be willing to pay?

I paid about £450 for a stripped pine reclaimed internal door fitted with two stained glass panels. The glazing is quite a lot simpler than either of the ones you have posted though. It was also from a Yorkshire-based seller of reclaimed doors on eBay - not the one you have listed who seem to be the biggest, but I can't remember his username as it was a couple of years ago.
It replaced a 15-panel 1970s glazed door and though it seemed expensive at the time, makes me smile everytime I come home. Worth every penny.
The thing that would make me go ouch would be £70 delivery! I guess it has to be a specialist carrier because of the fragility of the glass. Maybe you live close and could get a friend with a van to collect it?
That glass is not original antique glass - just so you know? They're made new to fit the doors.

Thank you @TheHollowLeggedGoat

Yes, I know the glass isn't original - it's quite hard to find ones with original glass in. [grumpy face]

I live in the Harrogate area so I think they could probably to discounted delivery or I'll have a look at the price of local couriers.

That's good to know how much you paid and I'm really pleased to see it makes you smile when you get home Grin
