Wow! - the world has gone mad!

(For anyone who doesn't use eBay, it's worth noting that eBay will take over £77 of that price, plus the £2 or so that they skim off the postage)

No they won't, because its a free listing on their "Sell three for three" offer. :D

Bear in mind that it was listed with a 99p starting price, so it's the world that has gone mead, not the seller (me)!

£601, is that a record for a standard MTX512? The last MTX500 went for £511 but it didn't have an end flurry of bids. it achieved that price with a few days to go, and stayed there until the end.

Or when a friendly collector buys the stuff off you away from eBay!

It ended at £621, sold to a US collector, so postage is horribly expensive. I hope he has a 240v power supply and a PAL TV / monitor or he is going to be disappointed...

I also had an Amiga 1200 up, and that went for £510. Colour me surprised...

Nice weekend's work, Jon! :shock:

Any plans to plough the spoils into another retro passion?

So the next Memofest is on Jon then, with pints all round :lol:

I’m not sure to say well done or just jibber with shock at those amazing bid amounts that you got there :shock: :shock: :shock:

But I do hope that the bidders do pay up.
