Case in point, someone trying to sell an Apricot F2, with keyboard (probably battery damaged), "mouse", definitely badly battery damaged, and monitor for £375. A few months ago I picked up an F2 with keyboard for less than £30 and a monitor for £30. Someone else picked up two motherboards and two case for about £30.

Just because things are old some people think that they're worth megabucks.
I just had a look on eBay and saw this. The box looks like it has seen some damp for sure, and the mouse sounds really nasty.

As for the popping sound when it was powered on.....

That's due to the car industry hoovering up all the parts.

That'd be the RIFA in the power supply, nothing to worry about there.

They don't always smoke, just most of the time.

I still have a few pens spare if anyone wants one but will have to wait until I have moved in to the new house as they are all packed :)
