Prices are sometimes amazing.
Back then I bought my Sanyo Wavy 70FD2 for 250 guilders.
A new Turbo-R at that time was around 1200 guilders.
So only IF that machine on Ebay is brandnew sealed and fresh from the factory, then I would gladly pay 450 pleuries.
The problem I found with 'old' machines (MSX2 and 2+) is that they mysteriously brake down without you knowing it. For example, I took my 8250 back from my parents place.
At home I found out that the cardridge slot connector and the diskdrive were not connected anymore. Even I can't recall wether I dissassambled it or not. At least I can't find a reason to do so. And my Wavy, well.. don't even want to start about it.. hey the leds go on, but thats all I have been able to test (I'm too lazy to hook it onto my philips monitor that is on my attic.
So, If someone has a 2+ / TR for sale for a nice price, and the machine is working, then I'm willing to pay for it... 
BTw, Sonic: what auction was it?

220 is still to expencive for me.. for that money I can fly to Italy and have a nice dinner there at a local nice bistro

Hmmm... Seems like I've paid too much for my FS-A1ST. I bought it somewhere in February 2003, and I paid 350,- euros for it. Needless to say, I had to buy an adapter (230->115V) which was as well 20,- euros... 
On the other hand, the thing was in almost-mint condition. There was no box wrapped around it, unfortunately. The only thing is, the ink on the keys starts to wear off...
I bought that Turbo-R today it's stays next to me now 
As in Stak Trek vulcans? Hehe, sorry, I'm out of their influense for like 5 years now
i contacted him by e-mail, he answered me and i did a bid,because i am sure no-one will ever pay 450 euro for a " naked" Turbo-R A1GT, he agreed, i took it asap
