You are being reasonable. It is an auction and if the reserve was less than £40, the speakers should be yours.
I will be drinking tonight, but I shall be on an aeroplane so I will have no communication with TT.
Luckily I'm not the pilot.

Hmm not sure if I'm being an arse here or not..
I was bidding on a speaker on eBay, won the auction for £40 (£15 less then my max bid) only for the seller to message me saying that they won't sell me the item for this as it is "less than half" what they wanted for it and they have re-listed it at £125 BIN, now as I understand the rules (and googling supports this) they have to sell to me. So I sent the seller a message saying that basically (and the link to the page on eBay which details this), I also offered to chuck them the cost for the postage as they had originally not put that on but estimated it at £20.
I realise that I'm probably highly unlikely to actually get the item in this case but I just don't feel inclined to roll over easily on this - people need to MTFU and take responsibility for the things they commit to IMHO.
So am I being an arse?
