sjp still has yet to complete his third approved post, so until then PM access will be unavailable to him. He's been made aware of this, and the ball's in his court. In the interim, you might try email.

This is not a straight sale. It is a closed bid auction from someone based in Scotland. I received the following yesterday, in response to my inquiry:
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF INTEREST IN THIS ITEM

In order to choose the lucky buyer I propose that if you are interested to email me your best offer by 1200 hrs tomorrow (Monday 17th August) . Whoever has the highest offer at that time gets the item.
