I did see him in another thread but 70 notes and postage on top for a bike I paid less than half for, seems a bit excessive.
The price you paid for the bicycle is immaterial. It was badly listed and you got it cheap. If you have to, imagine you paid £60 for the bicycle and this repair is going to cost you £40. That feels better doesn't it :-)

That's certainly true to a point, however I basically don't have a lot of spare cash, so any money I spend getting out a stuck seatpost is money that doesn't get spent on the family and I'll have a hard time justifying it to the missus. Also, I bought this bike to put a child seat on, and the £70 (plus probably £30 on postage) is money I could use to buy a nice kiddie seat with.
It's also worth mentioning, that despite claims to the contrary there are a few dings in the frame. Nothing structurally bad, but it's lived a bit. If it were mint bar the stuck speatpost I might consider it, as it's quite a nice bike, but as it's basically only a step or two above beater level I'll see how far I get with this on my own and then call it.

Cheers. I appreciate it's dangerous stuff, but the chap who's helping me uses it daily so he's in charge.
