Reaping the Ebay harvest

Hmmmm.....

Wouldn't mind having pedal controls for the C64 overlays or the MSSIAH. In fact, I can see a real use on the MSSIAH as I could work keyboard and joystick controls together, plus twiddle the paddles.

Unless this would block some keyboard commands as the ordinary Mega Drive controller would, I'd definitely consider.

That is a marvellous piece. Plug the Coleco into it and you have an early '80s home office suite!

BLOODY GREAT JOB LOT MATE:

£ 3.20 current bid.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MASSIVE-JOBLO ... 337f19c80e

Broken marriage sell-off do you think? Or madcap gamer making room.

Well I wouldn't turn my nose up if I had a spare £ 500. I only wish I hadn't binned my mint copies of Godzilla, MC Kids, Spiderman or even Pacman. By some miracle I still kept Isolated Warrior and the Marios.

I almost had to stop myself Buying It Now:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-CBM ... 2ec6d3f6b2

I know PETs are rare and expensive now but at £ 550 for this one, you're getting a bargain. Pity I don't have a spare £ 550 or the room to put this in.

Now I'm reminded how I understand some people getting so passionate over steam engines.

How quickly we forget the small screen sizes back then

Who needed bigger? And that was the 64th post! Lovely.

And here's a 1Gb hard drive for the Atari ST, £ 135 Buy It Now:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Atari-520-104 ... 1011672878?

And a collectors' Cubase:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steinberg-Cub ... 5601461%26

And here's one going for a more unreasonable £ 260, though you do get stacks more software with it:

Good job there's an Ebay. I doubt we'd see photos of even half the exciting stuff ever released without it.

Commie_User · Post by **Commie_User** » 01/04/2013 - 0:26

You don't get many big box sets for software nowadays, as with that Cubase. Classic stuff to look great on your shelf.

Nice little Plus 4:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-Plu ... 8074449%26

And crumbs, an A1000. I just love these galleries. No wonder all this looked so special in the Eighties, considering how little there was just one decade earlier.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-Ami ... 8074449%26

HUGE piccy: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Commodore-Amiga- ... ~60_57.JPG

A more expensive model, yet apparently pristine with even the autographs inside:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMMODORE-AMI ... 4ac06255b2

And now a circuit bent Atari module and Animal Fun House. I want the Animal Fun House.

Is the animal fun house sonically unique in some way? Or did you just have one when you were young?

There was a plan at one point in the life of the C64-in-a-joystick-thing which would have involved getting toy manufacturers to fit SID chip emulations into their toys. Never worked out though...

Commie_User · Post by **Commie_User** » 01/04/2013 - 13:55

I have no idea what the unit sounds like. I won't even watch the promo video unless I lose the bid. But it's cheap and I'll enjoy the surprise.

It's a pity the SID emulations never appeared in toys. I'm sure I would have enjoyed even more strange noises to collect when the devices got old.

And talking of old, just look at this harmonium. If it wasn't collection-only, with me lacking cash and house room, I'd definitely stick a bid down.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/harmonium-187 ... 3f23968b31

And I've never seen harmonium CDs before, perhaps outside the Indian market. Looks I'll have to make do with those and my existing reed organs.

And I can't afford even a cheap sitar to fiddle with. Still, they're apparently a great hassle when a MIDI guitar with software can do quite nicely: http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?id=295

Though this sample pack fits more within my price range and would help an 'Indiany' tune quite well, alongside harmonia, zither, other software and sounds inside my Alesis syndrums or Technics keyboard. I must learn to remember I have more than I thought. I suppose even I can't keep up with the flood of stuff today.

http://www.soundiron.com/instruments/st ... rre-sitar/

And I could also buy some strings and fit them to an old guitar body: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRO-GRADE-STE ... 2a27c49f35

To keep it cheap I'll have to wait until the music shop throw another one out. Might as well get a real sitar otherwise.

Commie_User · Post by **Commie_User** » 03/04/2013 - 18:45

And as we hit the subject, this is a Status Quo riff on the harmonium, surely?

Commie_User · Post by **Commie_User** » 11/04/2013 - 0:56

FAB FOUR meets COOL COMMIE:

£ 500? I'd say no: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beatle-Quest- ... 20b0d293a8

But is this £ 70 synth album still wrapped? Yes it is, it's true: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 257c9d0009

And a nice, cheap mint-looking machine to play it on: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 4453897%26

A 'stored but never used' Quick Data Drive and tapes? 99p current bid? Don't mind if I do: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/C64-commodore ... 2ec75b0836

Vic20 tapes: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMMODORE-VIC ... 43b9e363db

Vic20 expansion switcher: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMMODORE-Vic ... 460bcc1f37

Could be a rotten game but a still a great presentation: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Commodore-64-C64 ... ~60_58.JPG

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 2c6d754dae

Original packing and everything.... even the brown outer cardboard other folks simply binned: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-COMMO ... 4171ff84bc

Amiga 500 goodness: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-Ami ... 2a2b43386e

Orange function keys: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/commodore-64- ... 3127478%26

That means an early one doesn't it?

Terminator 2 boxset and plenty of games for £3.20. I don't care what the po-faced say about Margaret Thatcher, I doubt we could quite have these bounties had she not become PM! Look at it all:

Pen and software. Nice: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trojan-Cad-Ma ... 5445308%26

Lovely lovely Music Maker. Can't get enough on 'em on Ebay.

Commodore machines and mountains of boxed classics: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 0274364%26

NEOS mouse and cheese, Sound Expander, Music Maker, database programs, datasettes.... you still get the treasure chests.

OMG, fanfold paper: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAF-Teleprint ... 9980255%26

Patriotic fanfold paper, as it's ex-RAF Falklands. Rather spooky then, being sold this week of all weeks. And it could also be classic fanfold printer paper, dug out from its 1980s resting place in a cupboard somewhere.

And if that wasn't exciting enough........

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IBM-PC-5150-I ... 2381488%26

£ 64 current bid. Ridiculously cheap for a classic.

And a portable PC with no bids at all yet: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibm-5155-Port ... 2429921%26

Ebay at its best is truly a museum for sale.
