Unless you can make the same deal at the AD, as from a trusted seller.
He's in the UK. Given the GBP - USD exchange rate, buying a TT from a trusted seller would be more expensive than buying a full PM back in the UK.

OP, visit several ADs and see what they can offer if you buy 'now'. As Neil has said, it's easy to get more than 10% in the UK, but 'don't ask don't get'. Another thing your mate might want to try is book a cheap flight from Heathrow, specifically T5, and pick one up at duty free. Obviously, call ahead and see if they have stock first.

Good luck.
