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.

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 :-)
