LOL
No, thankfully. I'm a really lucky guy IMHO, Mrs Pedro isn't like that at all.
If anything, we're both a little prone to the collector's instinct! That's why the house is so full of junk! :)

It will be interesting to see what the final bid is. I bet that lot cost slightly more than 4K.

eBay have pulled the auction due to him having a link to his blog!

It's going back up tonight around 8/9pm with no reserve, but a starting bid of £4k, and yeah, I don't know the exact figure, but it's certainly more than double the £4k starting bid that it's cost him!

Hmm....seems it's "only" going for £1,220 at the moment with no reserve. Hope that blog mistake doesn't end up being expensive.... :?

Yeah, he's told me that it's a girl who runs a retro gaming shop on eBay and it's all gonna be getting put back on individually.

Think it's being collected this weekend some time.
