I suspect it won’t be long before they look at Paypal friends and family payments as well as those made with PayPal protection.

Re: Is SellMyRetro going to have to report sales figures to the HMRC?

Thanks for the reply. I must admit I would have thought it was a marketplace - I didn’t consider the definitions! Off to clapham…

I suspect HMRC will eventually get info from all places regardless of such status. With the availability of data taxes can be collected.

Looking for the Like button!

I think nostalgia drives many to play games they enjoyed as a kid. I have a Spectrum teeshirt and more than one adult of a certain age has started a conversation about the games they remember after seeing it.

Is SellMyRetro going to have to report sales figures to the HMRC?

Given that eBay is going to start telling the delightful people at the revenue about people who sell stuff on ebay (more than 30 sales per year or about £1700 per year I believe) I was wondering if Sell My Retro is going to have to do the same?

Have a look at Dr Beeps 1K hires games. What can be achieved in 1K is frankly amazing.

My Dad who knew nothing about computers other than the fact that they were going to be important at some point bought the family a ZX81. Sounds pretty mass market to me!

I owe my career in IT to that zeddy. :D

Re: Spectrum Next Issue 2 Unboxing Video

I suspect a number of people on here may disagree that a ZX80 / ZX81 was almost useless!

Re: Replacement Z80

I get mine from Retroleum. Sure I can get them a little cheaper elsewhere if I buy bulk but I like shops like Retroleum to stay open so I always try and get stuff from there where possible.
