This low serial Sinclair ZX Spectrum certainly has the lowest Issue 1 number I’ve ever seen for sale and is currently on ebay (at time of writing). Serial Number 001-000009 is up for ‘Buy It Now’ at a cool £6000. Whether this is just cashing in on the current renewedContinue Reading
As I have reported before on several occasions, a number of Sinclair branded ZX Spectrum educational titles seem to command unusually high prices when sold online. Their rarity lies with the fact that although we all promised our parents that we wanted a computer for educational purposes, the reality wasContinue Reading
£119.57 to be precise. As I have previously highlighted on the site, Macmillan educational titles are going for some very high prices at auction and here is another example. Oil Strike has come up before and fetched a similar price last time round but it still amazes me how farContinue Reading
On eBay right now is this complete, working, boxed with polys, Tatung Einstein TC01. These don’t come up very often and even less so in complete working order with box. Pretty keenly priced at £199 Buy It Now. Unfortunately there are no pictures of box to gauge condition though. SeeContinue Reading
Another rare (and these really are) ZX Spectrum title has just been sold on eBay for a whopping £448.23. 27 bidders showed an interest in ‘MacMan and the Caber Eater’ (even though there was a misspelling!) a hard to come by educational game by Sinclair/Macmillan.

In case you missed it, the rare prototype Sega ‘Pluto’, one of only two known to exist has failed to reach it reserve price in an eBay auction that ended last week. That is despite the bidding reaching a whopping $15,500 (£10,101.67). All this after Roger Vega’s (aka YouTube userContinue Reading
I reported way back in 2009 about a set of Macmillan titles that sold in an eBay auction for figures way above what you normally expect most rare ZX Spectrum titles to sell for. Three of those titles (amongst others) were up for auction again and true to the recentContinue Reading
Another day, another auction. But this was no ordinary auction. In my many years of being an avid ‘ebayer’ (10 years+) I have only ever seen this come up once before. This auction was for Spellbox, a rare educational title by Macmillan under the Sinclair label. Not surprisingly it garneredContinue Reading
Up for eBay auction with a Buy It Now price of £299 is this rare boxed example of the Satellaview, a system comprising of the Satellaview adapter which the SNES sat on top of using that connector that was er… never used, an 8Meg data module, application cartridge and powerContinue Reading
