  Are former Crash journalists now reduced to this sort of behaviour?

  Wow it even comes with some of rarest of all spectrum games. Whoooo Make a chip and of course Horace goes skiing.
  
  You don't see them very often on Ebay do you
  
  :lol:
  
  Starting bid ?250 and theres a reserve on that + ?15 postage. Piss off
  
  I blame the Millers Antiques toys and games guide book thats come out. In there they reckon that a boxed 48K speccy on it's own is worth ?140 +
  
  I think someones been on the old jungle juice.

  I bought about 5 boxed 48k models in the early 90`s for between ?5-10 each at the local boot fairs, I would guess the average price now would be a fair ?20-25, but that is just taking the p*ss! :)

  What? You mean that isn't a reasonable price for something so [email="R@RE"]R@RE[/email] - It's got Make a Chip for the love of Clive. That alone must be worth 50% of the asking price.

  ?15 for postage???, I'd expect to be paying for the Spectrum AND postage...

  at an average of 8 quid a machine, perhaps you should point him in the direction of this auction from a while back...

  Did you collect it or did you arrange for a 'COURIOUR' as the auction stated ? ;)

  Such a pity that eBay doesn't allow bids of "75p and a packet of Rolos". :D
  
  Still, the offered games definitely don't include Stonkers ;) -- that's got to be worth something...
