Any other source of ZXpand+ ?

Post by msknight »

As the post has now calmed down, I'm looking for any other sellers of ZXpand+ please.

The person in Slovakia probably won't sell to me, after I was totally unreasonable in asking if we could wait until after the christmas postal rush... so I'm a little stuck.

Grateful for any leads.

Um, thinking.....

Not really, well, unless you want to pay silly money for one from expensiveBay...

Unless the original creator has a change of mind (don't hold your breath for that, he's got fingers in many pies), availability is not good. The phase 'like rocking horse' err, 'waste output' springs to mind...

Is this listing on SellMyRetro the seller you, er, upset?

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

I did buy a job lot before Christmas and the seller knows I would buy a bunch more for the UK market. I will ask again

Many thanks. I'd be grateful if you could keep me in the loop.

I was going to try e-mailing the seller again this weekend to see if he had mellowed, but I'll wait for you first.

I suspect they may sell out like hotcakes!

This seller is on eBay as ZP-SixBits and it may be easier to contact and purchase via eBay because I wanted an item from his store last year and I had to contact him about it because he wasn't set up properly on eBay to send stuff to the UK but when I told him of the problem he sorted it and I was able to purchase from him with no problems BTW FYI.
