I'm bidding on a kayak on Ebay but the guy want's cash on collection.

I've had a "cheap" quote for delivery of £95+VAT so that's out.

So, firstly I'm looking for someone to pick up and store the kayak if I get the cash to you, until I can plan a trip down - or meet somewhere up country if anyone is heading north in the next new weeks/months.  No rush.

It's 2m long and would fit in an estate with ease - but wont fit through the cut out in the back of a saloon.

I appreciate this narrows my potential helpers but if there is anyone out there please let me know.  Bidding ends tomorrow at lunch time.

PS This is it http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=140257010898&Category=36122

bob.dent and a few others are going that way after newent, though may be too late.

I can't even get involved in a 'oof relay' as only got saloon.

Will have a word with HNO3GOH --- both got saloons -- but his mum has an estate I am sure we could "borrow". It can live in the garage until we can pass it on

I thought you were going to ask someone to row it up the Irish Sea

Oh Pete  - you don't row kayak's!  

Thanks guys, I'll see how the auction goes and as long I know someone can get it home I'll buy it.  600 mile journey to collect it though so it'll have to be cheap

I ain't got that many left to split mate  

IIRC Pete you use a courier quite often - cheapest offer I've had so far is £67+vat via Parcelbrokers.co.uk on next day delivery.  I can wait longer - any suggeted sites?

Seem to recall Markie was always good at tracking down cheap couriers, probably the scottish blood

Thanks mate, looks like I have a courier now - just to sort out paying for it if I win, may need a little help here but should be ok.
