First GRS with SPC900 - 11-Jan-13

It is rediculous. Better off keeping an eye out on SGL classifieds and astrobuysell. Seen a couple come up for between £40 & £50 but they go quick!

Getting ridiculous ... SPC900 in flea-bay already >£82 (>£88 inc. postage), and still an hour to go...

Surely there must be cheaper, better, more modern alternatives....?

That's market forces for you. If someone is prepared to pay that much, that's how much they go for. I agree it's ridiculous that someone would willingly pay so much, but there it is. If everyone said "No, that's way too much", prices would fall.

Wow kingboya, that is a fantastic image. Never fails to amaze me what can be captured with a simple webcam.
