Nobody buying? Really? I'm tempted to try a "make offer"

You need 2? I thought you'd prefer a migrogramma VIC20 1st.

Relisted - and still nobody bought it. Sometimes I can't understand the VIC people...orion70 wrote:Nobody buying? Really? I'm tempted to try a "make offer"

Nice, someone must be thrilled. I only saw 2 before in Germany. One went for 200+ euros and the other went for 20 euros including a Microgramma VC20.

Yes, it was a balls up by the seller. He wanted to end the aution as it contained an error. He selected end auction and sell to highest bidder. The 'winner' threatened him with a lawyer, so he had to send the kit.

1st none, the 2 come along. Almost identical? Same seller, or someone copied text.

Yep they look the same, and were described with a copycat text. Apparently, both were sold. My guess is, identical models, so the Tucson guy being lazy copied the German seller's description. Or maybe he just bought it, just to put it on sale two months later.

VERY similar! Looks like a repainted and rebranded AM...Re: Arfon Micro/VIC Expansion info

Necro-bumping - I found a strange AM expansion device for sale in the UK, HERE. Looks like a customized version, doesn't it?

By the looks of it, yes it's a home-made addition. The last photo is a bit out of focus but there looks to be a ribbon cable running from the DIP switches to under the PCB.
