I already own the brown version, and have been waiting for a blue
one for some time. Also, down here, while there are not many
collectable chess computers coming on the market, when you do see
one you might get a bargain. Of course this is because foreigners are
not likely to bid very high, if at all.
I was ready to place a bid on this, then noticed something. Look
closely at the photo with the pieces. One of the white pawns has
been substituted for a lookalike.
Some advertisers are selective with the truth. Whoever wins this
auction will almost certainly be a collector, since you surely can't
enjoy a game against the thing. Good chance he has'nt noticed the
non original pawn, and will be annoyed.
Well, that's my daily gripe out of the way, time for coffee...
