Actually, it's the same one, relisted.  Nobody bid the first time and I put in the bid for £100, thinking that at that price, it would be worth storing until I can buy somewhere to rebuild it.  But when I phoned up to ask about dismantling arrangements, the seller said he wanted £800 and didn't know about reserves!  He's in a hurry to dismantle his whole chapel because it'll cost too much to heat!  What shall I do, guys?

Dear Julia

Well . . . and ebay sale is a contract . . . so first off, I'd communicate with him that unless he sells to you at the price bid and accepted, you'll set off the dispute resolution process with ebay which might result in negative feedback for him.

Welcome to the forum! As an adventurous person trying to rescue an organ it would be great to hear more about what you're doing . . .

Best wishes
