    Hi,
    I'm not using it at all, carefully opened and used 3 or 4 times.
    It's from the first kickstarter and has wifi. Also comes with a physical copy of Warhawk.
    All in Mint condition.

    What do you think would be a fair price if putting this up on Adverts?

    If you still want to sell it, it's better to sell it as quick as possible. They expected new editions but due to corona they are delayed, which currently has the impact on second hand computers prices (means they are quite high). Me personally I would be interested in buying one but I don't feel any pressure thus I would wait for better prices (in this case lower :P).

    Btw, there is one on ebay now for 5500 EUR but I don't believe that anyone buy it at this price... https://www.ebay.pl/itm/284044422473?hash=item42225ded49:g:Tm4AAOSwTmBfhfh9

    Just to remind folks that there is no buying or selling in the main forum.
    The marketplace is the only location, and even then the Spectrum Next is too modern a computer.
    Thanks.

    I had one on adverts for 500 euro that didn't sell (with the intention of buying the 2nd edition and having beer money left over!) I also stuck it on eBay for 600 and someone with zero feedback instantly bought it and I panicked and cancelled the bid.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Do you have any update when new versions/editions of ZX Spectrum Next would be available?

    Most recent update last week was..

    "we will be ready to manufacture in mid-September, depending only on the availability of the parts to assemble the computers"

    No idea why they didn't do the board redesign before launching the 2nd Kickstarter, a good few months were wasted with that process. But it wouldn't be a Next Kickstarter without delays I suppose.


    I didn't back it, but looking forward to the upgraded pi functionality they are presumably adding. They won't release the new software version until they start delivering this Kickstarter. I have extra ram for my Next but I only want to open it once, to add the ram, and update the pi micro SD (and change it out for the required larger memory size)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    That would be a great info. I'm just curious if they keep the previous price or increase... And when will they deliver them to homes?

    So June 2023 is the current due date for the Next, mostly down to the 65 week lead time on the new FPGA's...

    The new OS enhancements coming soon look great (for those of us who have a Next or N-Go). Wonder if OP ever sold their Next. I think It might be a good time to sell with the news of further delay.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Not at the moment, once they finally ship the ones from the second Kickstarter they may sell them online. Or you could pay over the odds on eBay, Facebook groups etc. Can't see them doing a third Kickstarter since the trials and tribulations of this and the last one but you never know...

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Only just noticed but there is a ZX Spectrum Next core for the Mister FPGA, might not be a cheaper way to experience the Next though

    An N-Go would be a cheaper way. It's a like for like clone of the Next (first Kickstarter version) and 100% compatible. The board only N-Go is under 150 euro but sellers often stick them in a repro rubber key Speccy shell (for a premium)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.
