I might place a bid, depending upon my friend who has some vans. We will be coming back from Ireland on St.Patricks day, in an empty truck, so could probably swing by and pick them up.

Prolly the bids will go to high though.

If I am right, these are the remnant s of a much larger lot of 200,000+ which sold on eBay a few years ago, for over £4,000.

I was part of a consortium on the W.O.S forums, and pledged £600. We were outbid by £500 or so.

Daaaaaaamn.  That's quite a lot of games.  What would your wife think about that?  I mean I know she was okay with all of the NHL's, but this is a bit bigger.  

And, what the heck is Dragon 32?  That PAL-only, or am I missing something?

Thats crazy!

Best of luck with that if you bid on it.

I would venture to say that would be the largest haul of anyone on the site for quite some time.
And if they are all brand new that is even cooler.

yeah, it's cool, but I also have to ask why is the vendor selling them?

I think that he has flooded the market.

What is a Dragon 32, you say?

Excatly! The number of Dragon 32 collectors on eBay can't be thtat many!

LOL  It's an old 8 bit PC, made during the great home micro scramble between 1980-84, when the dust settled, most were not standing. Tatung Einstein, Jupiter Ace,  etc


Jet Set Willy, an important game in British gaming history, for example, the guy whose stock it was originally, recounts how he sold the first mint/sealed J.S.W for over £100. Now, they are about £1 to £2 each. There were so many of them,

I think, that theguy who bough the stock, paid about 1pence per game

I wonder how much it would cost to charter a jet to the UK to pick those up?  Hmmmm.

Well that right there justifies the reason.
Obscure stuff is always good to get.

There is one bid on it now with the original .99 listing still.

I am going to try and remember to follow this.
