Selling misc Spectrum bits + old contracts

edited June 2014 in Sales
Hi, I've got a few bits and pieces of old spectrum stuff that I'd like to sell.. I don't know terribly much about it as it came to me rather than me buying it myself.

There's the usual bits like games and the computers themselves - but also a bunch of contracts signed by developer and company to transfer ownership etc which I'm guessing is quite rare?

I've put pictures below and wondered if people could advise me a bit about what it's worth and whether that's of any value to collectors?

    Wow, I see some documentation from games of Harry S. Price?? :o :o

    This is going to be interesting :)

    I'm guessing that's good / desirable?
  • Interesting stuff re. developer/company contracts!

    I'm not sure about collectability of this kind of thing but somebody on WoS will be able to help you I'm sure.

    I'm really surprised this didn't get more replies/views.. is this a quiet time?

    I think so, the last months have been kind of quiet in the site in general, but I think probably nobody has noticed the Harry Price stuff in the pictures, as he is quite famous in the Spectrum world ;)

    Maybe somebody from the preservation team will see this and give his opini?n :)

    should I put it in the title?.. I can't figure out how to - could an admin or moderator edit my title for me please?

    I'd be interested in both of the computers and the dizzy collections but I have no idea of cost. :D

    Should I try and find anyone specific on here who might be a collector for this sort of rare stuff? Doesn't seem to be much interest.
  • edited June 2014
    In my opinion, it would be interesting to see Harry`s notes about his games, as he used to copy a lot of stuff from other games, Im very curious to see how he worked on that. Besides, there is some nice games there, probably the reason why is because things are too quiet here, but there might be someone interested soon, who knows :)

    We might be interested in purchasing your collection and have sent you a PM, although I would understand of course if you'd prefer to sell to a collector rather than a dealer. It goes without saying that we'd be happy to scan any relevant items for preservation on here too.

    Definitely make the contracts available to everyone and the IK+ sprite design is a bit of a collector's item. :-)

    I think scanning the documentation for incorporation on here would be a *must*. These are part of the development of software for the spectrum and should not be lost.. :-)

    I agree 100%. I have a number of older inlays that we acquired some time back which I've put to one side to scan for preservation. When I last checked I believe they were missing from the database - they came to us loose, so sadly there was no software with them. That's something I must get around to doing :-)

    I'd be interested also in it, haven't been around much due to silly amounts of work or I'd have replied earlier. :)
