Another seller has recently listed a few "boxed complete" Acornsoft language packages, so I wonder if this seller noticed and thought they'd chance their luck.

I can't see if selling for anything near that price ... but who knows, in a few years maybe we'll all be marvelling at how people will pay £1000 for something like that.

Most things I look at on eBay of late are LOLPRICE.

I saw an Atari 65XE case up for £200 earlier.

I got an offer of £18 on a Forth one of those I think, while it was still being listed at a more sensible £22. Its up for £99 now!

“It’s manufacturer warranty may have expired”. I guess GenAI is the new lazy.
