Odd question: Anyone got a 500g Bovril jar?

[Sci]

I am having a damn hard time finding one of these. It's for a personal
art-project I've been wanting to do for a couple of years.
I've contacted Unilever and they still make it but apparently none of
the big stores have ordered any of that size this period. None of them.
And Unilever don't seem to send out samples, with or without content.

I found one seller on ebid that wanted under �10 for a jar (inc
postage), but after joining the site just to get it it turns out the
seller's unresponsive (for over a month now).
There's a couple of other sites out there (literally) that have it
listed in stock, but it's �17 upward from those. (The one that wants �35
in postage for a �6 jar is the same seller from ebid charging �4.50)

I don't even need the contents, just the jar with an undamaged front
label. I've got the other two sizes sitting waiting.

Anyone got a jar sitting in a cupboard? Will gladly exchange for a fresh
smaller jar or two.

Is a marmite jar no good?  Plenty of shops seem to stock those in 500g.

Oh hang on, missed the bit about the label...

Yeah, the labels scale up so I couldn't just re-skin one. :/

A week after placing the order they've emailed back with a refund. Seems
they were out of stock and aren't/can't get any more in.

Got any other suggestions I might have missed?

That's the same store than runs the ebid auction I tried buying it
through at xmas. No invoice, no email replies. Yes, I tried several times.

Even if it wasn't twice the price in their own-hosted store, wouldn't
trust trying again with them since this time I could pay right away and
have nothing come rather than simply never get invoiced.
