Not another one appearing but the one I posted about on the boards here late last year.

After much dithering and after reading with interest the offers that came in for the copy offered on here recently, I have finally decided on a price range that I would be happy to sell for.

Judging by the comments I recieved last time and knowing what a fussy collector I am, I believe the copy I have is probably the best one left in existance.

My preferred method of sale would be a private sale, via a face to face transaction with the buyer paying COD, even if that involves me travelling to the U.S or Canada (the idea of entrusting a courier or the post office not to bend the item in transit, insured or not, gives me the shivers) - the exact details can be worked out with any interested parties.

The highest price I believe I could reasonably expect to recieve for it is £1400 and therefore this is price I am offering it at.  Clearly if no-one is able/willing to pay this price I will be more than happy to negotiate within my price range.

Thanks for reading my waffle and I hope my ST1 finds a good home.  please e-mail at [email protected] or PM me if you are interested.  First serious offer obviously secures.

I'll scan/photograph more images for anyone that's interested.

Wow! Sure looks good to me, and you're right to think very carefully about putting it in the post.  I put so much wrapping on the one I sent to the US, I was convinced it would be fine, but.... only just, they smashed through to the last line of defense - about 5 layers!.  Mind you, if I'd have put in a card backed envelope no doubt it would have been fine!!!
I'm glad mine went on the market first!!!!

No.... but I had one very scared buyer carefully unravelling all 5 or six ruined layers of packaging (boxes, bubble wrap and more boxes), only to find the last defense had just saved it. By the way, I had over 500g of packaging for a 100g item!

Oh yeah, one other thing, I'm sure this must be really easy, but how do you quote someone properly?

There is a "quote" button on the upper right of everyone's post.  Otherwise, to enter it directly in BB code, type:

Code:

Thanks to those who have made offers - several negotiations are taking place.

Still waiting for someone from the U.K to turn up on my doorstep with a large wedge of cash though :D

I'm happy to say that the module is now with a new owner who would like to remain anonymous.

The buyer paid £1,500, a proportion of which went towards postage and Paypal fees.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Thanks for the update, Barry. Congratulations on that (crazy IMHO) price!
Don't spend it all on an orange B3! :twisted: :D


(Still was/is a very sweet copy, though. :))
