I bet it's more for the tapes and books than the Atmos.
I had never seen this "Oric Trek" tape.

Compared to the very high prices of some tapes or books on Ebay (more
than £10), it's very expensive but not *that* crazy... Until people
don't care for Oric anymore ;-)

Simon are you even suggesting that there will ever be a time that
people don't care for the Oric anymore? I just cant get my head round
that concept!!

I have. I saw a few on Ebay a while back. I think I paid about £5 for mine.

Well there's more.

I don't see anything too rare there. Flight401 maybe...
Here's an Atmos on it's own.

These are selling for a lot more than Oric's used to go for.
