With my sincere apologies for anyone who thinks that this is a misuse of the forum (this seemed like as good a way as any!) - I live in the Midlands and am looking at a sensible way of getting an eBay item (a load of amazing secondhand pirate party kit for my son's 4th birthday) from Bournemouth to me up north. undertstandably the item is collection only and I sure that a man with a van is going to come out very pricey. The brainwave (or maybe not as you may think!) is that a Bournemouth fan could perhaps collect and bring it up to the Midlands on your trip up north?! I will need to check that my wife as keen as me but was going to say something like £40 cash on delivery if I need to come and meet you in Stoke on Sat 26th or £60 if you could deliver to my parents house in Sutton Coldfield on way up. I would obviously separately pay for the eBay item by PayPal so you would just need to collect the items the week before. A bit mad I know but anyone keen in principle?
