I asked because I have not been a member for very long on here, and as I did not know if he was a member I posted to see if he was,
As I stated I went as far as I was prepared to pay, no further.
some of the stuff I bid on there are other ways I can buy, just takes longer than a local purchase, My main reason for my post was that I don't see any need for me to be biding and pushing up the price for another member, as I would find it annoying if it was done for fun too.
On some of the other sites ( non Computer collectors websites we have a register that if we want we can post our user name on EBay or any other auction site, )
It does help, as other members get to know what you are looking for and often post links, or declare interest to help avoid driving up prices unnecessarily.
from another post re matsondawson seems he has simmiler views

and as the C16 passed in without bids I bought it on offer, only to find out latter that his phone had frozen,
I did reply once I found out.

Sorry about that when no bid on it and I was after the V20 the offer came in and I just click yes with out thinking about it, seem I have had to get a tape deck as some one told me the C64 tape deck won't work on the C16, ( did not realise Commodore made such incompatibilities in their systems) any way it arrived today, was going to use it for spares but its in really good nick, Alan told me he will be listing a lot of stuff over the next few weeks, as he is clearing out some surplus stuff)
Also turned up was the C64 power supply from Oz, rats dead as a Dodo, next time will look for tested item.
So I am back in the market for a (9VAC/5VDC C64 Power supply)
or if any of you guys have some hacks for making a good aftermarket type would be interested in the info.
