Oh, I'm convinced it does. YouTube channels create cult-like followings that manifest quite substantive FOMO.paulb wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 9:55 pm When RMC showed off a big donation recently, one of the featured machines was an A3010, and there were quite a few approving comments including people saying how rare Archimedes are (plus mentions of battery leakage, and so on). Although one might think that a single YouTube channel might not drive commercial activity, sometimes things generally conspire to do so: other channels might be motivated to make related content and to try and build on audience interest. And there are people with money to spend, apparently.
A few years ago RMC just showed a Memotech MTX series machine on the channel and within a week the eBay prices went from £20-£50 to > £300 and there they stay.danielj wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 10:29 amOh, I'm convinced it does.

You think people who buy that sort of thing ever de-box them anyway?thecellartroll wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 7:56 pm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166066353484
Perhaps not LOLprice yet but for sure it will be! I wonder what kind of green, rotted horror awaits the buyer of this "never out of the box" machine, photographed out of the box showing dirt on the keyboard and a filthy mouse cable. I'm surprised that Acorn shipped it like that
Only if the label's fallen off.
I love listings list like. I like the whooshing sound they make as the listing end date flies by.fizgog wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 10:42 pm Is this the most expensive game on the beeb?

You tend to see this a lot in the days following a "maximum seller fee of £1" event on eBay. Sellers put a bunch of placeholder items on with ludicrous prices/images, then replace them with actual content when they have more time. There's quite a few of the same fan heater: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item= ... sn=jaddbenlushprojects wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 9:03 pm "Vintage PC equipment £700"

I'm a fan of the one entitled "Toxteth Woodworm Embarrassment". That's an oddly satisfying combination of words for something that means nothing at all.baz4096 wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 9:52 pm There's quite a few of the same fan heater: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item= ... sn=jaddben
