Am I missing something? I've been watching a Performa 200 on ebay and the price keep on going up. I'm sure they are the same model as the Classic II, but with a different name. Are these models that rare that they go for this sort of price?
There was one that went last week from the same seller. The picture and description where the same, it just listed it as not booting. May be whoever won the original £280 one returned as faulty.
The re-listed Performa 200 went for just over £40, which I still think is a bit expensive, even for a working one.
The price of these compacts is inevitably going to go up with time but you do occasionally get these little blips when they go for crazy prices. To think I was pulling these out of skips a few years ago, less so these days.
