Back in July 2013, someone in the office mentioned the beautiful iconic 80's disaster that is the Sinclair C5. Inevitably someone asked what they're worth now, and apart from the fact they cost £400 new, was dropped to £199 shortly after and then the price plummeted like a stone, I had no idea. So I turned to the reliable font of knowledge in these things; eBay. Generally, they were going for more than I expected, then I came across this sorry little thing With 4 days to go, the price seemed far too low, despite it being described as "Spares or repair", so, just for curiosity sake, I decided to watch the auction. With 15 minutes to go the price was still too low, so I bid a stupidly low price... and was the highest bidder! But with 2 minutes to go, I got outbid! Well, the eBay red mist had descended, and I wasn't having any of that, so I bid again... and won it for £34.56! What the hell was I going to do now?
