Watched - less than a minute to go all was fine - and then over the space of 6 seconds the price was upbid beyond what I had bid several days ago no less than 7 times. 4 different bidders. Apparently. Wouldn't be surprised if one...

Re: QL Book of Games

I don't think that any games were typed-in. This was only the second time that I could find the book for sale, and there are no scanned copies of it.

Re: Today I Received...

Actually a couple of days ago I received a box full of QL Today magazines from Rich Mellor
which was nice.
Also a self-assembly bookcase/cabinet which I have half completed.
Now waiting for a tiny widget that's required to do the cabinet.
And a couple of books.

The dupes will find their way to a marketplace in due course.
