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.

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

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

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! :D

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! :lol: :lol:

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...
