@Skippy

Indeed, i have to agree... its concerning though the highest bidder has less than 10 eBay trades, and the second highest bidder has less that 50 trades.... at that price, i expect the transaction to fall through to be honest.

That's like a month and a half of your average house mortage spent on an accelerator. Someone must really love their Amiga.

However, giving it loving at that rate is gonna make you homeless!

Hmmm

£320 is a month and a half's mortgage payment?

House prices in Bristol must have really come down in the credit crunch!

I don't have a mortage, I live in a shed on an allotment. (or will be at this rate)

Actually I rent a Flat, and I've just paid the Rent, Council Tax, Water, Sewage, Gas and Electricity Bills this week - Nice, very nice!!!

And that expression on my avatar, pretty much summed up my mood afterwards.

So it bread and water for a few days.. lol
