The title says much of it. Im’ mainly talking about various Spectrum games, and a few BBC Micro ones. Obivously I’m aware that condition is crucial, but there are a few that are complete with packageing and manuals. How on earth do I estimate the value of these, and where on earth do I sell them? (Or am I somehow overlooking a relevant ebay catagory??)

You can’t type “Sinclair Spectrum” in the ebay search box?? :dubious:

Hint: don’t be expecting much.
