*Bump* These are still for sale *Bump*
I feel the prices are quite reasonable considering the work/service/upgrades in the machines? I'm asking £150 each. Someone on Ebay is trying to sell a short ST with no upgrades or service for £230 ... I've got these listed on Amibay too, but no bites yet.
Yeah, I would say those are good prices, have you been on the facebook groups?? there are gamers, and retro USERS.. on there that might be very interested at that price. Maybe it's the idea that a non collector would have to find a storage device etc.. they are not the ones on EXXOS forum??

Oh true James, good thought about the storage device. Perhaps I'll add some links to external Gotek drives in the topic.

For anyone who doesn't know! You can get an external floppy adaptor from 5voltsupply! Then you can either plug in a real drive or a Gotek etc:

I realise this is a very old post but if you still have one of these available I'm interested :)
As long as you don't mind it being used as a bit of a guinea pig for some stuff I'm not quite ready to put my main ST through?
Cheers,

No worries, I suspected you would have but it was worth a shot :)
That was a great price for the amount of work you had put into them.
@PhilC, if you have a short 520ST laying around for a decent price I'd be interested.
It doesn't have to be pretty, and it doesn't even have to be complete with power supply, floppy drive, mouse etc.

Has this thread been accidentally stickied or something? I just noticed it's been living at the top for about a year now since the last post...
