On the shortcut as displayed, yes. But in reality the HTML space (%20) has been added between the first and second number in the ID at the end.

link 1 (www.trade-exchange.co.nz)
link 2 (www.trade-exchange.co.nz)

Time to dig out all those valuable 486's ... Any gullible takers?

201282 2003-12-18 01:15:00 I actually rang one of them up today and said they were 'dreaming' and the price was insanely high, i mean only a very stupid person would buy a computer for that price!

201283 2003-12-18 02:18:00 There have always been folks like that. They probably bought them for about $3500 'n' years ago and havent kept up with prices.

In comparison, if you look in the Wellington T&E you may well find a Compaq 400Mhz with 15" monitor for $75, but Im not allowed by the rules to say more :)

201284 2003-12-18 08:39:00 Its like trademe I have given up bidding on stuff. There is always some dickhead who wants to pay a secondhand price higher that what it costs new.
I was trying to get a cheap laptop to use in my truck for work. There is always some cockhead trying to push the price too high.

cheers
