Re: Going rate for svi328
The SVI-328 or SV-328 is a quite common computer, also the tape recorder was I doubt if you find many of these around (at least in Denmark). Not in Sweden either, it should have been was a I think these were quite common in USA?? bundled with most of the computers. A fair price would be about US $50-100. If the computer is a SVI-328 MK II the price would be about US $150-250. You must be NUTS!! I think you really are Perhaps I am;-) It's not that much, just a parking ticket or two;-) Í don´t tend do pay parking tickets, don´t have a car :-) The SVI-328 MK II is really ultra rare, it wasn't even sold in most of countries because of the SVI-728. I guess my 328 and 605 box ended in a junk yard... Though I profanated it before, took out the power supply for my msx HD Then it blew up one day and killed my damn expensive at that time harddisk, erased DOS2 cartridge and fried my SCSI interface. I guess this was the REVENGE of SVI-328!!! Hehe. A NUTS story from a collector too... ;-). Every colloctor of retro computing, today is less or more nuts so no offence ;-), This stuff is not worth a shit today unless you are crazy enough to get the system on ebay... That's almost the only source to get them from today, but if you'r lucky you can find them for free. Of course if they aren't worth anything to you, don't buy one;) Stick with your P4, Geforce 3 and the lovely SVI-738. Hehe, I have only a plain P133 :-), no fancy stuff. And indeed SVI-738 is a lovely computer. Especially when it is upgraded to MSX2+ and has enough RAM :-))). Well I apricate that we have one nuts SVI-328 collector, at least I can see some interesting 328 stuff :-). Anyway I think MSX is cooler than 328 :-). But if you sell it for such price, good luck!!! I don't sell any of the Spectravideo items I'v collected, they are to rare for me. Guessed so!

Pioneer Palcom PX-7 is easy to get in Australia. Can you buy it at a cheap price in Denmark? Here Sony HB-F9 and HB-F700 are common MSX2s. Could you find it in the U.K.? Each country has its own MSXs ;-) Sure, you will find here only: SONY 75P, CANON, YASHICA, SVI-728 if you are lucky. Only MSX1 machines. What? Are you selling a NEOGEO console or what? No, a bsolete computer If someone wanted to buy such stuff for 250 bucks I guess something is wrong with that person. You can get it for peanuts in Holland!!! But if you sell it for such price, good luck!!! The graphic tablet SV-105 is a bit more rare, not that useful though, $50. 50 bucks for SVI tablet, argh...I´m speechless Sorry, couldn´t resist to reply..

Maybe, but you could use your money also lot worse things ;) Saku have you got some dirty thoughts in your mind, hehe :-) (OR IS IT ME?) :- Anyway I think MSX is cooler than 328 :-). Depends from user (collector), of course. Sure, that´s my private opinion. SVI is ofcourse a Nice and exceptional machine but today nothing that I would kill for. I´m collecting MSX and console stuff now, so no interest in other computers for nowbut who nows.maybe some day.

What are they? Insane! I would never pay that much for any ol' piece of junk! Sure cartridges are sweet and all but come on the prices of some of the carts is just way too high! I think that we should keep in mind that we're talkin' about absolete hardware so almost everything is a collectorsitem. Which normally implies that prices should go up. However he group whom actually collects MSX stuff is growing smaller day by day, yeah it's a shame. So I think even if you're gonna pay about $100 for anything in about 10 years from now it'll be totally worthless. Or do you guys and galls think in ten years or twenty for the MSX-scene will still be as active or inactive as it is now?

So do not remove it please! or at least... not for now... yet. (that probably isn't very correct english but you should get my point) It bothered me a bit already that Hans redirected my words into 'my opinion'. I decided not to react on it. Now Laurens is copying Hans' part and reacts on it. I DO need to say something about it now Actually, I will quote myself: Message from Anne de Raad, 23-4-2001, 8:26 about the sheets published : 'Seriously, I don't want you to take them offline. I don't see any harm in publishing them. It is actually quite interesting for the people who weren't there. I ONLY want to tell you what the japanese people thought of it.' Please Hans, could you mind this statement before you conclude I want everything off the web? You're message was from 23-4-2001 at 16:11, so you read my quote above already. I only want to give the list the view of the japanese on this subject. www.msx.org did a wise thing and took the sheets offline already. Let me put it this way, it will stabilize and improve our contacts with the japanese MSX community. If your view on my opinion was about the ROMs and other copyrighted MSX software only, then you are right. I really think we should take all the copyrighted MSX software offline. Just to TRY to get the MSX PLAYER a bit popular. As soon as those old games become commercial interesting again and the copyrights 'revive' a bit, we should learn something from the past. We should stick together and try to convince everyone it is for the sake of MSX that the software will only be available via the official ASCII MSX server. Yes, ASCII will make money that way, but ASCII will also see that the MSX-system is something they should go on with. I assure you, when the emulator fails, we won't see any new MSX.. Anne -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
Re: No sheets on the internet?
I agree with Anne on this one. We MSX users were partly responsible for the failure of the MSX system. A lot of companes stopped developing software for MSX because of the low sales (because of excessive copying). Some people adore Martos and are glad he's back in the MSX scene. I can only say that I see people like Martos as a huge threat to the entire revival project. As for the sheets: Kazuhiko Nishi has proven he still thinks of the European MSX scene very highly, by letting us be the first in the world to hear the announcement of the singlechip MSX. If he does not like the sheets on the internet, we will have to respect that and remove them from the internet.
