Eye-watering ebay prices

[Dave]

Who knows where the price might end up - the phase of the moon might have something to do with the prices that these are selling on eBay at the moment!

A boxed, pristine, MTX512 sold for £310 in April, a half boxed MTX500 just sold for £509 and an unboxed 500 for £204.

I suppose it depends on who’s looking at the time and how desperate they are.

[gunrock]

Actually, full disclosure, the 204 quid MTX500 was me. I really wanted a spare.

[Dave]

You know, it's people with "spare" MTXs that prevents others from getting one and just pushes up prices

[gunrock]

Hah! Yes. Now I'm sure there's a saying about constructions built from silica based materials and geological specimens, though it escapes me right now!

Last weekend I decided to put my 512 on eBay, with a 99p starting price. Two days later and it's at £311...

Good job it's pristine, Jon. Think of the hit you'd have taken if it had a ROM that had lost a portion of it's legs!

Who would end up leg less, Jon celebrating how rich he then thinks he is before he gets the bad news, or the new owner drowning his/her sorrows...
