Of course it's possible that makes it more valuable to a UK Sinclair

But yes, prices are silly - I mean 200 to 400 pounds for something the
size of a piece of toast seems a little crazy :-)
Actually, there can't be many NTSC versions on the USA side of the pond.
Presumably the machines didn't sell nearly as well in the US as they did
in the UK. But whether they're collectable to US people is another
matter...

I have no idea about fair, and you are on the
wrong side of the
pond for it to be worth my while trying to con you out of it
(although, if you're willing to pick up the shipping, do let
me know :-)), but the last couple I saw on ebay went for about
?200 or so. Back in the dot-com boom I saw one go for ?400.
I don't know if this would be particularly valuable to someone on the other
side of the pond--it's the USA NTSC model, not the European PAL version.
