    ha nice! bit extortionate for a lowly 1230, but then how many are out there?

    just looking at prices for the 1260 and blizzard scsi, coudl probably get over a grand for all my bits these days!!

    In the eBay guys defence he specifically mentions in this write-up he doesn't expect anything like 5k and put it there mostly to get it talked about on interweb forums - job done I'd say.

    Some good Commodore love going on here :hug: (where is fthaimike?)

    My line up :

    Commodore VIC 20
    Commodore 16
    Commodore 64
    Commodore Amiga A500

    Although more Spectrum orientated, I feel it's the perfect time to post this video :

    I still remember that fondly, I'll never forget the first time we loaded up Sega Rally, the jump from the SNES and Mega Drive was unreal!

    I've got the same handheld that Jeff bridges plays in Tron when he's above the arcade. Distinct game tune on that bugger, monotonous lol

    I remember my Dad buying me a spectrum back in the day, early 80's. I think it cost something like 199, mad eh!!
    My first game was called 'Horace goes sking'

    Trev, i used to spend hours and hours punching in the code from the 'Your Sinclair' magazine for the basic programming to write games . Only to find you typed something wrong and had to go back through pages and pages to find one silly mistake!!!!

    I was always walking into town with my mate and buying the games for 1.99. If you think about it, it was such good value for what you got at the time! Agent X music on the speccy 48k was so amazing, I recorded it into the tape deck, still have the tape now! Those times were great :)

    cbs colecovison was the first console i ever had, much better than the atari at the time especially as you could buy extra add on's for the unit.

    Small keyboard ZX Spectrum which is still here somewhere with its books game cassettes and a Ferguson Tape deck thing.... Are they worth much?... Then I had a Mega Drive which I sold to stick the funds towards a Nova SR when I was 17... Have an old X Box here which I play a bit of Mcrae on now and then but to busy to be sat playing games.
