I don't think that he's selling to the UK at the moment.

Probably cheaper buy a STE in hope its got a PLCC blitter.

How much are blitters worth these days?

No clue, last ones in my store sold for £38, but they weren't pulls. I would have to scrap some STE's to get some others, not much can be reused, so I would probably have to sell them at more like £65 to just get some money back. Can't see people paying that somehow.

@exxos that's why I ask as I have 2 or 3 STes with external blitter and a couple of STFMs with them. Trying to work out if they are worth more as parts or not.

I have the same dilemma, mostly its more profitable to strip stuff down for parts. But doesn't always work out that easy when you have 100's of boards and half the chips on the STFM's are soldered down :roll: Its why I started selling cases and PSU's as overall I am losing money on all the stuff :(

@exxos I think I may do the same with these STe boards.

@Steve give me a pm if you can't locate any elsewhere.
