I hope guys you have all been well
Yes, it's the same pcb that shmups forum asked me to have dumped, and I hope it was of some use, even if nothing other than a cool novelty for the guys who presumably decided to do a rom swap on their boards.
Initially the listing was intended to have a buy it now of $9999 (or best offer) and be a piss take at the guys (we don't need to name names lol) who have absurd asking prices for pcbs.
The problem was that I have never sold anything on ebay.com (US) and the layout when doing so drove me borderline batshit. There were a ton of things it was asking me to fill out which I hadn't allowed time for. I'm not sure if this happened because we are in Australia.
Long story short the ebay page I was on wouldn't allow me to run a buy it now with best offer and would only accept an auction with a start to end gap of at least 20%. By this time I'd had enough and simply keyed in a random $599/$999 and was happy enough that the ebay page accepted everything so I could amend it at a later stage. I will address the issue and take better photos when I list some other things on ebay in a week or so, but until then it will remain something that we can all piss and moan about.
Not that it means anything, but if I was asked what I think the pcb is *really* worth, I would hazard a guess that the right person might gladly pay 300 USD plus shipping. Whether that person sees that it's up for sale is of course an entirely different matter though. Also, to clarify, the pic with the bubble wrap was one of many the dumper took for the m.a.m.e. archives when he came over to our home to do the rom dump. He emailed about a dozen of them to both myself and my partner.
I always knew that dumping the thing could potentially devalue its worth (again, to the right person), but you asked, so how could I resist?
Anyway, I hope everyone's been well. I really should make an effort to check in more often
