++Cyber Legends Retro Computer event Enquiries++

That's everything sorted, so I should be able to make it on the day now. Got to drop the wife off in Southampton first to meet up with her friend and then its off to the Hythe & Dibden hall.

Bit of fish and chips whilst seeing and selling random retro gear.

What sort of thing are you guys wanting to buy these days? For instance, I've got:

1 x working QL in good condition (and had a new keyboard membrane).
1 x QL in average condition (with new membrane, but then I might keep this )
5 x ST motherboards, good for harvesting parts or for fixing up (I'd fix a couple up but have no time).
48K spectrum
1 x Spectrum +2 128K
1 x Spectrum +3 128K
2 or 3 C64s all working
1 x 4mb short ST
2 x Atari XE cases
1 x Mega ST case
Various ram and retro computer chips
Maybe a couple of TF536s and possible some ST536s(if I can find where I put the ram chips)
and some other random bits and pieces.

And then I have a few things I can bring if you guys want? but as said before I'm not really a computer demonstrator etc, so I can bring some of the below:
1 x Sega Saturn and a few games on disk
1 x Sega Dreamcast with GDEMCU and a few games on SD card.
1 x Nintendo 64 with multicart
1 x Nintendo Gamecube with SD card interface
1 x Amiga A500 Plus with TF536
1 x Amiga A1200 with TF1260
1 x Short ST with TF536
1 x Mega ST with TF536 (or ST536 if I get it built)
1 x Phoenix H5C1 with Trudie and TF536
1 x Apple //e with Audio card and SD card interface
1 x C64C or C64 with Kung Fu cart
1 Atari 800 with Incognito 1mb, SD card etc
1 x Atari portfolio (although not got any software for it yet)

In fact, everything other than my Sega Saturn is for sale at the right price :P

Anything in particular you guys would like to see?

It all depends on if I sell much too. My first priority is to pay for some soldering work to the twin shifter board/Mega ST and save up for a TF card to go in courtesy of @exxos . If I can clear that, then I may start thinking of some purchases. I would suggest bring as much as you can, if you intend to sell. Not sure where else you would get a captive buying audience like this again.

Im curious, out of all those machines, why its the Saturn thats not for sale?

I guess you cant have too many C64s on its 40th Birthday. Any cool games or hardware for this would be interesting to see. Plus like I said, a QL in the flesh would be great, so why not two? Also Atari 800/Apple IIe would be different to whats coming from others. Ultimately, your choice though; this event is meant more for relaxing/enjoyment, rather than stress. Choose whats going to be the least hassle to find leads for/repair bits on/etc.

@mrbombermillzy Ah well I am a big shoot em up fan (Schmup as its called) and the Saturn in my opinion has some of the best Schmups ever. The dreamcast has a few good ones too, such as Ikaruga.

I may just bring the Apple and Atari 800 for guys to have a play with.

If I was to bring all my old stuff to sell I'd need a bigger car or a van

I made a mp3, but mp3 isn't a valid extension for attachment. Do you want to add that as a valid extension, or should I just zip it?
