    Hi

    I am in the UK and have a few things I'd like to sell - reasonably hard to find (in Europe) stuff, like a complete/boxed FM Towns II computer (looks a bit like a dark grey Apple Macintosh Classic), but I can't list a post in the marketplace area because I don't post much.

    It says I have to post 50 items. Does anyone know if it's possible to request just to have this lifted for a while? I'm purposely not a spammer, don't want to list this stuff on ebay, and it is definitely of interest to people here...

    I'll understand if this post gets removed, but really don' t know how to deal with the situation. Seems an odd rule. I've been registered here for years, but mainly lurk.

    cheers

    Sorry for the noobish question but which FM Towns model had two floopy drives bulit-in and CD-Rom drive as well? I loved the style of that one for some reason :)

    IMHO it's worth about £1500. Finding one in Japan isn't as hard as some things but still pretty hard to find one in 'perfect' condition, let alone a box.

    Then on top its a very large and heavy item to ship so if anyone is in the UK it's a plus that its actually here.
