Just add *Rare* in the title and you can ask for whatever price you like  ;D

You can make an offer on the DDI-1... Offer him €1.50, that should sober him up.

Well the real laugh is that the CPM disks were up for £199 also to start with  :laugh:


Admittedly DD1s are not common, but still, £200 for one ? I could pay that, the wife might want some shoes .......  :P :o

It seems that there is something in the air about people wanting to spend silly money for "retro" things:

...now I used to have one of these cars back in the late 80s/early 90's.... cost me £500 and I think I sold it for £20 (for scrap metal).  The eBay current price of >£35,000 is pure insanity!!!!

I bought on ebay my Amstrad Plus at high price. I'm living in Quebec, CA and it has been quite nice to find someone ready to ship a whole CPC through the ocean...

This was an absolute bargain, the only reason it did not sell is that the seller would not post it.

There is, or was an amstrad 464plus with colour monitor on ebay at a BIN price of £250, now that is overpriced.

Well, when I would buy this tape, I would also consider buying this handy bag, too:

+ this nice jeans:
