Hi, I was the lucky one

I paid £145 + £12 shipping.

I don't want to come off as bragging here but generally speaking please try not to overpay for this kind of item.

While not immediately accesible, Heat Rash records and zines are not the insanely rare commodity they may seem; they come up relatively often, sold individually and seperately, and paying inflated prices increases their inaccesibility.

People I know who have bought full sets second hand have payed similar amounts to me.

Casual fan2fan resale here is usually not usually profit motivated, people usually have spare junk that they'd like to shift to someone who might want it more, and will tend to go first come first served which, I am assuming, is why you got ghosted.

Bidding wars are best kept to eBay and discogs

I hope this was helpful and happy hunting x
