If you look at this group, you'll see one up for sale at 400 quid plus carriage. However, I dunno if this is a fair figure or not. Like everything else it is only worth what someone is prepared to pay. -- *Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? Dave Plowman dave@davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Check ebay's closed auctions: Kinetic RiscPC's and Iyonix never go for less than 300-400 if in working condition. Patric -- GL

Well I've never seen a RiscPC of any type go for anything like that price and it's been years since an Iyonix did either so I don't know which ebay you've been looking at. -- David Holden - APDL - <http://www.apdl.co.uk>
