Well, I hope that didn't turn out too bad. The article is actually about market values of Sinclair machines and things like the Black Watch and will be in the Financial Times in a couple of saturdays. I basically spent an hour deriding ebay and emphasising the historical side of collecting for exhibition and educational purposes, not financial. Apparently I'm not the only one he's spoken to that thinks that, though there's also been others who've said stupid things like 'turn up with a non-yellowed zx80 and I'll give you ?400 for it' We both agreed that it was highly unlikely you WOULD get ?400 if you did that. The journalist is speaking to a lot more people and at present he's on the fence between telling people to sell their MK14s now and telling people to hold onto them. Naturally I told him to tell people to give things like that to me :o) The current ebay situation with Zebra ZX81 kits is a good example of how greed can go wrong...... On a sort of unrelated note it's idiot week on ebay again - a battered looking yellowed ZX80 is currently at ?155 despite it only having the bottom sorry looking poly, PSU and manual.....many days left to go, too.
