I ended up using Swoopo the bid site where you can buy bids for electronic items, i spect 80 quid on bids and very nearly won the nikon D90 for ?256 but what they do is refund the money you spend on the bids and clicked buy it now - the buy it now price was
749.99 so i got cheaper than the high street still! It turned up about a week ago and its fantastic. Really reccomend having a go on Swoopo ...
