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.
