LG BL40 Chocolate - How hard is this thing to source?!

Shanelle

Hi
Desperately need an LG BL40 for an upcoming birthday. AS per usual left far too late because being the tech savvy I am I assumed I could just walk into any phone shop and pick it off the shelf. Hassle free!
How wrong I am! Lg support chatline thingy have told me its been discontinued so none of the larger main chains are not likely to sell it.
This leaves ebay - Cue several ridiculously priced ones (£300+) and several used ones ending too late! Suppose I could just wait..... but ideally a present in time would be nice...
I've checked gumtree cash converters local sale boards and nothing....
Loot.com doens't seem to be working but I;m losing all hope!
Can anyone help me to find this phone please

Shanelle

TIA
