Learning English from Minder? That's the funniest thing I've heard all week!

As to Nucleonic Ferkinators, I never watched Minder: it was on ITV and we nearly always watched BBC.

Seems like a data skimming activity to me. Why do I have to give name/address/delivery details for a free PDF file?

Bryce.

Because it's a shop that normally don't have it free it's temporallly free only.

I'd be too afraid of catching a nasty disease off that.

Looks great, a dirty broken printer for 75 quid. Bargain.

Poliander · 20:52, 27 July 22

Maybe the "faulty" scribble comes from Banksy, I don't know.

VincentGR · 20:55, 27 July 22

Well, this is the time when DMP stands for dump.
Seems like it though from the photo.

I knew ebay was on a slippery slope to turning into a glorified flea market but this has definitely confirmed it.
Anyone who pays that amount for that deserves everything they get!

Skunkfish · 22:43, 01 August 22

Did you see the location in the UK where the printer is? Rather fitting I feel!

The description is fantastic: They didn't clean it because they were afraid they might damage it!!!

Nearly 40 years ago I worked in the office at the Polmadie Cleansing & Recycling facility in Glasgow - that printer looks as though it came from the landfill site.

It's worth gold ?

The label on top of the disc drive isn't original either.

Original Maxam software+box+instructions+3 books...

Make the final price figure as daft as other stuff on there please!

Dabz

Bryce · 14:47, 16 September 22

Wow, I'm rich! I have exactly the same package in much better condition and mine even includes the EPROM as well as the disc.

Bryce.

Dabz · 14:51, 16 September 22

I had a look at prices at other bits and bobs prior to posting the item,and because I do have this tagged, it just doesnt come up, so I feel £50 is a decent starting point for something like this, including the books with no reserve.

If you feel it's asking too much, fair enough... Your opinion me auld fruit, I'll never hold that against anyone... Ya sarcastic b[HEYYYYY MACARANA]d!

hehehe

EDIT: Just added a few other pointy woo's

"We can't afford our October electricity bill, but Maxam for 50 quid! The kids will starve for a week but this is gold!"

Edit: Jokes aside, if that's your listing. You and people like you make the the retro community as miserable as it currently is, you opportunistic shit! I hope you get ripped off via Paypal. Get what you deserve, deserve what you get.

eto · 20:13, 16 September 22

With the books included, that's an absolutely fair price.

Used Dandanator Elite + for nearly 3 times the price of a brand new one:

If you are talking about this auction : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/125446297831?hash=item1d352e98e7:g:504AAOSw27Ri6pE8

The the label is probably right : some CPC from "Alsace" (est region of France including Strasbourg) have such a label. The indication "Ein" near the power led make me think of a genuine CPC. It seems that those are rare (but overpriced in this auction)

That's a German CPC model. Either someone imported it on his own and then made its own label, or it was exported/imported by Amstrad. As it looks like an old but professional label and you have the label on the bottom, I would expect that it's an official export/import.

In that case it would be an "original label" even though it's glued over the metal plate.

Not sure though if anyone cares about these kind of exports/imports. If yes, then it might be worth a bit(!) more than usual CPC.
