RE: In Car MP3

Well....

The bidding for the first one got to £180, and the second £170, however, these were phantom bids by the auctioneer so in fact none were sold as he gave up after two goes. The price he was trying to hit would suggest a reserve of £150 +.

I did manage to get a couple of new Sidewinder joysticks for £6 each and a STB quad MVP Pro PCI graphics card for £2 but it doesn't have the bloody adapter!

I've just been to the auction house to check these out before tomorrow.

The auctioneers have very helpfully added a label stating "As sold in Halfords for £499". I was tempted to add "As sold on-line for £170 (bending the truth a bit).

It depends on the crowd, but I think it would be a miracle if they go any cheaper than the Saturn price, which lets face it is a bargain anyway!

Perhaps we should have a sweepstake on how much they go for.

There are 5 of these going at my local computer auction on Saturday.

It could go one of 2 ways. People thinking these are £600 jobs and paying £300 +, or people thinking WTF and not bidding. I'll be hoping for the latter. :-)

 

If they go cheap enough are there 4 people here that would want one?

OK - so what's the list's opinion on these babies (thinking he's GOT to have one especially at £200)....
