Cheers for the reply, yeah cash on collection. I've sent him some pretty polite emails trying to persuade him as much as possible to help me out on this, and just got basically two word responses. If he can't be bothered with I guess that's fair enough. I even offered to pay him considerably more than I know what this going to end for, but he's not bothered. It's got one bid at 40 quid and it's ending early Monday evening which isn't great timing for him, I'd have probably stretched to 200 quid for it before podtage. He'll prob get a 100 max. Never mind , I just know it may be a year or two before I find another

You can get to Middlesbrough and back on the train or even hire a car and cover the fuel for less than the £100 you're prepared to over pay. Go and get it.

There used to be a fella on here who'd collect things for you for the price of transport as he enjoyed travelling by train. I've never used him and can't for the life of me remember his name though

Can't speculate on the douche bit, but letting the buyer arrange a courier is risky business for a seller. For all they know, you could be a complete cunt who arranges collection, gets the item...and then opens a case saying you didn't receive the item and demand a refund. They then indeed don't have any proof that they sent it to you - they lose their money and their item.
What was the ad, cash on collection or did they state delivery options?
