how many CC1's have there been recently?
i think in the last month alone about 5?
i think this year alone perhaps 25-30?
More Dishonor Regards

Steve:
The person who bought it holds the top 2 records of highest price obtained for a CC1 in Ebay auctions. Expect another auction coming up soon from the buyer !

He probably bought it for the box
best regards
aha!
and we will no doubt see this buyer announcing on all of the schachcomputer forums that by some miracle he came across yet another CCI that he will graciously out of the goodness of his heart sell to whomever is interested in it
With the Run up to Xmas in full swing...Ebay has the typical spate of offerings with sellers that have no idea what chess is let alone how to set up the starting position
So finally when a seller says "I know nothing about chess therefore I cannot tell you if the computer works or not", I should not always read "this computer does not work but I want to try to sell it for a higher price" ?
but I'll always stay away of such auctions anyway regards,
sometimes you can repair a broken computer.
i made this experience twice so far.
i bought a broken sparc-module and a few days ago a broken
chessmaster diamond (east germany) dedicated chess computer.
i was able to repair them both with the help of my friends.
What seems like a fairy tale today may be reality tomorrow.
Here we have a fairy tale of the day after tomorrow....
ok this HAS to take the cake as the goofiest auction i have seen in a long time.. certainly the prize winner for 2007
you are actually asked..NOT TO BID
this guy has a set of Mephisto Exclusive pieces...
and he wants to sell them..one piece at a time ..and he wants you to email him instead of bidding
he seems very proud that he has already "sold" one black pawn
i wonder what the Ebay staff would think of someone using Ebay to advertise a private sale?
suppose i bid anyway ..i win and the seller complains to Ebay that what?
i didnt read his instructions and that his intention was to go around Ebay and i was warned not to bid and only email him?

the question is...
is the defect something simple to repair or something more complex?
one or both of them could even be the legendary Elite Premiere
Yeah, I saw this one this morning. Nothing said about original boxes or
pieces. And as you say, it depends what is wrong with them. They could
have been cooked with wrong adaptors. Regarding the version numbers,
can't you just ask him for more details?
hope you're enjoying a nice Christmas break
Larry
PS If you are interested, just ask him exactly what happens when you
plug them in.
