I love the 3000, I've had both a regular and LE and sold them both in the past 10 years. The prices seem to have gone way up recently.
But I love it, and have been looking for one in excellent condition with a UK/EU PSU and then eBay notified me! It came boxed with manual, new screen, completely clean, buttons all good. Looked like it had had very little use, and for a reasonable buy it now price.
I clicked on the link and it had sold three hours before, and I was proper crushed. eBay's notification system is wack - why not notify when someone lists something!?
Anyway, I contacted the seller and he was super cool and sympathetic. Said he would have preferred to sell to me (and avoid intl shipping) but didn't want to cancel the order. I've been thinking about it ever since.
I wonder what y'all think. I feel this is so rare to see close to mint 3000 UK 3000s in boxed. Am I tripping and should just let it go and be patient. Obviously time moves forward and the machines get older and more users. I was so down to buy this one and settle. But I hope out there theres a similar deal, and luck will be more on my side!
Does new old stock actually exist anymore / anyone want to sell me the 3000 they've had in the cupboard for 20 years!
