FA: A500plus in mint condition

[som99]

I have to say I love opening up "minty" hardware, breaking seals and plastic tabs along the way!

..well, not so much breaking the tabs, but it is nice looking at a 20+ year old motherboard that's never been dusty.

I agreee 100%, loveley feeling aint it Open it up, check that all is ok inside and if something has to bee replaced it's a thrill to do so

Didn`t make sense.

I collect computers. The computer on offer is judged by me as not mint. I do not even give such machines a second glance. I have numerous A500+s that work perfectly out of their boxes. Getting a mint A500+ with seals intact in original box ... now thats a collectors item. And A500+'s are currently worth in working condition £25. Hardly going to make you a mint as a collectors item. One of the most prolific computers made of all time I would guess.

Anyway... we are quibbling over nonsense. The buyer makes the judgement, not the seller.

I also collect computers.  Infact I have a lot.  Commodore, Atari computers, 8-bit and 16-bits.  Some classic Macs too.  (you have more than me tho! LOL)

And I would rather collect a computer that is in MINT/NEW shape and has a broken seal, than a dirty nasty yellow dogged out system with a nice virgin seal.

That's just me tho!  We just have a different collector business model
