Thus the unit price (without customs and shipping costs) is $30. Just find 95 other guys in your vicinity to make a group order.
Ah, I didnt pick that up!
That is the stock what Wiztronics got from Brad. That is when we tried to do the group buy for a few years back.. That is when they turned down 12 grand offer for parts! And no that was not a typo. It has been mentioned and discussed before on the forum a couple of times already.
Basically they are never ever going to sell all that stock. I had here, or part of, their stock list and there are enough chips to probably redo every Falcon on the planet thousand times over.
In my view, Brad has tried to shift them over to Wiztronics to sell them more as a bulk deal. Not saying it is a bad deal exactly. But they literally have so many chips they could sell them at £1 and still make a couple million in profit . It is basically what put a stop to any hope of Falcon motherboards been produced again. Frankly I just find it annoying greedy and frustrating. But anyway all been said before.
Looks like the large heatsink and fan was physically ripped off the board actually.

Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...
Just 'cos the plastic bags haven't been opened doesn't make it collectable... Even if it were it's well over an order of magnitude too high a price.

I think they think the thing they have is much more special than it actually is.
As it goes they are a little rare compared to other Atari 8 bit machines and £500 is not unusual, but at that price they'll have a long wait for a sale.
