As suggested elsewhere, the seller may have entered the manufacture date into the price field with some extra zeros by mistake and couldn't change it.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
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.

That's certainly possible, but it's easy enough to change the price after the fact, I've done it loads of times.

I tried to give away magazines to shops years ago. They all said they were flooded with the things and couldn't take anymore. They just ended up in the bin as nobody wanted them.

About 30 years ago now, I was moving house, so ended up dumping a close to complete collection of ST Format magazines. :(

The things you look at and in hindsight say to yourself 'why didnt I just hold on to that'.

Theres too many of those occurrences for my liking.

So, to repent for my sins, I became a hoarder. :lol:
