I can't get my head around that this is pre-school software and people want it and want to pay that much for it.
That is a nice picture of a pig on the front though.
1)how much is expensive to you, if you are a multi millionare, it's peanuts
2)if you have everything else you want, then it's rare you'd buy a title..
I would rather spend it on music software, which I have .. and I can justify the usage I get from it more then such a game.. maybe they'll appear on antiques road show in 20-30 years.
you have only a few minutes - just noticed they named it wrong on listing - is it worth much - looks like it may be - perhaps someone here might wanna check out a relist of it ??
it's more annoying they want a courier, as I'd rather have picked up. I might put a bid in for it, but it's odd they don't allow collection and "Delivery by me - ?35 within 100 miles of Reading." (I find that a worry tbh) . I might put an offer in, but not that much.. as they are returns after all.
what could be wrong with em ? the ULA's ?
the contact address isn't in reading AND the persons name doesn't match if you google the telephone listed..
He doesn't discriminate ;)
Still this would cost a fortune to get overseas.
hhmmm.... if you want to imply something , just spit it out or are you another member of the idiot brigade?
something don't add up with that listing, and normally if I feel that way I'll avoid them. i.e they don't want you turning up to collect the items.. so you know where they live (a common thing with people selling cars/caravans when they aren't the owners).. and the address is a london one with a different surname... on ebay you have to keep your contact details up to date.

I don't know what you are talking about: I only thought that both UK inhabitants and overseas people who are interested, must used a courier to get their hands on these items.
Of course it would be best if someone could pick it up: the seller would definately get more interest than (maybe it would have already been sold then).
if I was buying...
I'd turn up , pick a random box to open to see what exactly was inside.
as the old classic of the "water bottle" laptop by travellers in car parks.. might be at play.
no make a chips also makes a big difference.. you'd expect at least another crate of em IF they are proper :)
1) not matching details for seller
2) won't allow pick up
those 2 things make me feel something is off... and the old if something is too good to be true.. it normally is
was gonna sell 1 ready made, but well if there is issues with M1 lines, I'd rather sell it with a machine that I know works. Obv. ebay fee's are a kicker as well.

?58.. think the decimal place need shifting considering the postage cost ;)
blimey...I think you'd have to be an avid collector to appreciate this.
1 bid so far!
most of the people on here who do own it probably got it for far less...
I don't own it, and wouldn't fork out that much.. I would like it, but not at that cost.
Its chum, Soundabout, is also going for a fair old price: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sinclair-ZX-Spectrum-Educational-Software-Macmillan-Soundabout-Very-Rare-/231102424342

yep you have to get more parts, but not loads.

I sold one that was in better condition for 1/3 of that price.
I was interested until I saw the cassette :)
