Picked this up this week - it's fully boxed and in superb condition. Even came with a couple of classic games :D

Nice buy thedamnedunited, always fancied owning a dragon (I'll avoid the wife joke) when I saw them back in the days when I was a youth, but alas never had one.

You do have to wonder where this was being stored because it looks brand new!  At least, it does on the pics.  How is it when you have it up close?

It has been used, but kept in the poly's. I would suspect the poly's are new though. The machine is in great condition - even up close.

Guess some people really look after stuff. The Mattel Aquarius I have, I'm sure it's absolutely brand new.

The one I am most proud of though for the condition is my ZX80 - check this out ;

The original box still has the 1980 Cambridge postmark where it was sent by mail order by Science of Cambridge.

Not always that lucky though. I have a C64 where the top half is a different colour from the bottom and a C64C that when I asked the seller to rank the yellowing rating on a scale of 1 to 10 with a 10 being worse, they gave it a 4 whereas I would have given it an 11 :(

Ah, talk of the poor Dragon 32 soon drowned out by greater interest in a Sinclair computer. It was always thus...  8)
