Question

Just moved into a house and the ex-owners have left two boxes of orignal spectrum games.

All seem to be complete with boxes manuals and covers.

Would these be worth anything or should I just bin them.

Sinclair sofware isn't worth much at all actually. Only stuff worth money is Ultimate titles, rarer bits and pieces like Shadow of the Unicorn (which came with a 64k rampack) and early Sinclair titles.

Drop me your list and I'll take a look if you like.

Yep I got a load of games and books, sold the books for a very tidy profit and gonna bundle up alot of the games but they dont fetch alot. Even spectrums themselves dont get alot of money, the stuff that is sought after are things like zx80s and jupiter ace's

I have a spec emulator and a 3000 game CD if anyone wants a selection on email. Name the game you want and I can send the emulator and ROM. You can find any Speccy game on the net if you look although I still have boxes upon boxes of original stuff including a ZX80, ZX81 and most of the Ultimate games. Maybe time to sell.

Remember the original Binatone

I have this binatone console that came with a motorcycle game and a special controller. Very cool.
