Where can I sell...

Hi,

I have got a Spectrum SX Computer with a load of games, joystick and gun etc and was wondering where people think is the best place to sell it... I have looked at Ebay which seems ok, but are there any specialist retro computer sites or something???

Cheers!

    Hi Jen,

    Unfortunately I don't know of any retro computer sites either. These ZX spectrums don't go for a great deal. I hae one myself. To be honest I think many households in the UK have them stuck away somewhere. Ebay is your best bet. If there are any retro sites out there my guess is they buy them cheap off ebay too and therefore wouldn't offer you anymore.

    Good Luck.

    You could try micromart.They are a mgazine for computers.You sometimes see them in the classified section. There used to be another magazine ,I think it was retro gaming or something like that.
    The trouble is,however fantastic the speccy was(i had one)the spectrum is emulated and the emulators are free,fast and faultless. The games are free and numerous. We have the emulator and loads of games. No cables to go wrong or tapes to stretch.
