Time to get serious now. Rather than offer him £4500, shall I put a £4500 snipe on it.
I have asked the seller if he would be happy for us to pay the relisting fees and have no negative feedback left if for whatever reason we can't raise the money.
I'm happy to use my eBay account to bid, but need a bit of assurance that people will chip in. Happy to use someone else's paypal account to store the money while we raise it (a forum mod perhaps?!).
