And just think, that's in pounds! That's heavy...
- Doc

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

Yes becuse £1,999.99 is about as sensible as it gets. *roll eyes*

Not to mention I have actually seen this game on eBay in the past, though must admit not that often.

Speaking of pounds (thought I'd ask here since there's lots of UK users), when someone mentions a Stone, is that a certain numbers of pounds like Tons is over here?

And yeah, I wonder what that single offer was for. £1?  :lol:

1 stone = 14 lbs here.
We also have a slightly different measurement of gallons in the UK too.

We're in that weird stage between metric and imperial.  We weigh ourselves in stones usually, but everything else in grammes/kilogrammes, same with distance, roads in miles, but everything else in metres/cm/mm, we measure beer by the pint in glasses and by the litre in bottles.

Most things are metric here now though, with the above exceptions.

Yeah people tend to be, but objects I measure in meters.  Maybe it depends when you went to school, I was raised in the late 80s/90s, we were never taught any imperial in school at all, just metric from 1984 onwards.

He does qualify it in the text with
"As this game has not sold on Ebay or been available any where esle for quite sometime I am really looking for good and sensible offers, as gaining an appropriate and fair selling price is tricky."

Does Ebay allow a 'make offer' only option? I suspect he has done this knowing it won't go for that amount.

One way of sorting this RareOmatic ebay fools is for someone to call "Captain Slow" to make a tv program about 80's computers and get the BEEB to buy the CD and use it as table coaster.

Job Done !
