But to us british the ZX80 has the same nostalgic value as an Altair. The
highest price I have seen a ZX80 go for here in the UK was 180 UKP but
this example was fully boxed, the correct manuals, mint condition and
known to work.

So, how much are Altairs going for in the UK?
Perhaps we need to set up a transatlantic swap. We could certainly use a
few more British machines over here. Should I load up my suitcase with
TRS-80 Model 100's when I go to Europe? I'd like to bring back a bunch of
Sinclair Z88's with me.
