Hmm, well I didn't win. But that's not surprising.

Faintly nostalgia-ish question: if I got my Sam from MGT (I think),
the Christmas immediately after the price for a machine with a floppy
drive dropped to £200, what year is that likely to have been? I'm
guessing 1991 or 1992...

The TV screenshot is a crap pic - the overlay on the SAM test screen is

the TV itself (for adjusting colour etc).

That's a bit bad, unfortunally it is not possible to edit (at least one

to try, unless you stop the auction, but I would write something like 
"SAM
Coupé (SAM Coupe)". I myself have two SAM Coupé so no need for it at 
moment,
I just need a new drive, but this SAM  does not have one, right? The 
current
price is okay for a new SAM, so if I didn't had purchased a car this 
month,
it would be a nice buy, even for a higher price and without drive. The TV
Screenshoot looks a bit strange (cannot zoom it), maybe bacause it was 
the
first ROM version?

Erm, in my infinite intelligence and perfectionism, I listed the new SAM
as a "SAM Coupé". This means that if you search for "SAM Coupe" you 
won't
find it. DOH! It ends today (Weds) at lunchtime for anyone interested - 
I
say this just in case someone searched for "SAM Coupe" and couldn't find 
it.
No more spam, promise ;)

That's quite a find. But one thing, the auction says:

"One of my pics shows the power supply without the plug and if you
look closely you can see that the wires are tied up and completely
unused.", and:
"I have uploaded pictures of the test that I carried out."

But the listing only seems to have one picture (the Sam in blue
wrapping) and no obvious links to other photos. But maybe I'm being a
dunce?

I've a brand new SAM on eBay at the moment! It was won in a CVG
magazine
competition many years ago and stored in a cupboard all these years.
Check
