Amstrad 464 Plus with CM14 Monitor Unboxing & Exploration. Part 1.

I picked this up locally for £150. I'd never had one before so its been a journey of discovery for me..... This is Part 1, the unboxing and first look. Part 2 will come very soon, where I clean, refurb and fix the machine, and get it fired up!

Glad your back 👍

Wonderful video

Frankly I think you rambling on in these videos is part of what makes them interesting. If people wanna watch a pair of gloved hands on a white background silently unboxing an old console there are plenty of channels for that.

Cheers Mitch, I shall continue the ramblings!

Yay! You're back! Been wondering where you were mate. Glad you're back, even if it is a video every few months!

[@retro-unboxing]

Thank you my friend, I'm glad to be back, and hoping to make more of an effort now!

I enjoyed the video but you've made yourself part of the problem with people who gets the chance to get something cheap and only buy it to make a profit. THIS is the reason, prices are sky high on eBay for old retro stuff, you should have let this lot alone, sorry to say.

Do you not think that collectors holding on to things for themselves pushes prices up? I made it clear that I’m a collector and this item just isn’t for me. If I hadn’t purchased it, it may have gone to a collector who may have kept it all for himself. This way, I’ve done all the testing, refurbishing and splitting the games down for individuals to get hold of rarer games….
I take your point, but it’s not like I make a living from it, I’m not a trader.
It’s a nice thing to have for a short while, it’s a nice thing to make a video of and share it with people that may not have seen them…..
Interesting discussion point though which is why I was honest about it in my video.
