    What's going on here, Oricians?

    Am I seeing double or have we two (rare-ish) Oric jossies here going for an arm and a leg (and a kidney) yet they look identical in the shots... yet one's doing a fair bit better than the other - on the same auction... whatever.

    See what you make of it, retronauts:

    Get your bids in - fast - a whole load of other Oric goodies there going from anywhere between £4 to £144.

    Have it.

    They went for a pretty sum in the end:

    If the same Orician got the pair - they splashed out over a ton - for a couple of jossies.

    Am I the only one here who would expect a retro microcomputer included in there somewhere?!

    Out of my league.

    Ahem, add another 'associated' 60 quid to those jossies - here's the Oric jossie interface which has just gone on Feebay from the same seller for an incredible fee (these normally go for £15-30). I sold one (gave one?) to Robofruit for maybe a tenner? I forget but they aint that rare...
