...I might be so inclined as to suggest that the money power of two forums combined is more than that of just one. If you catch the drift that I'm not making.

Does your nonsuggestion not raise a bigger issue - who ends up getting the CD even if we do donate some spare change along the lines of £200 or so? (That's realistically what we'd end up achieving, knowing the monetary situation of this forum; to the members of Assembler, used to paying £2500, their house and their firstborn daughter for things, that is most definitely spare change.)

Well each person could look after it for a minimum certain period of time, and have the right to request it off someone else whenever they like as long as they pay postage I guess.

Wasn't that an episode of The Simpsons?

If I had a job I'd buy it for several thousand. Unfortunately it'll be some wealthy misanthrope who gets it and we'll never see it again.

If we end up with enough people, I could chip in up to $100, with the expectation that I'd at least get a copy of the disc (I wouldn't care about the original, I just want the data).

Didn't think I was that annoying =/ I would like us to start afresh without me ruining your sales threads. But if you don't want that that's fine. You seem like a cool guy though, released prototypes and blah :P

Surely posting our private chat log is the key to winning my heart!

I'm not involved in this at all, so I'm not going to offer any advice. But theoretically, if I were, I might be tempted to say "Who gives a shit? Destroy the original for all I care."

In other news, Jim, don't bother with this guy. I think he's obviously displayed what a compassionate person he is. (sarcasm)

I was, in white text secretly after each message *creepy laugh*

Perhaps there's a way why don't we negotiate to the owner like (OK, this is VERY stupid what I'm about to say) "Renting" the disc, so we don't have to pay a whole lot of money. Yeah pretty stupid but that's what I'm thinking right now.

[Guess Who]

[sarcasm]

Or maybe we can each chip in 1/100th of the price, each get 1/100th of the disc and use superglue! Yeah, that would be the way to do it for cheap!

I don't even know the guy, and I can safely confirm that it's not leaving his hands until he gets the amount of money he wants, and he wants "four digits".

We just need to come up with more than $2500, that's all. I can throw in $100, what about anyone else?

Sorry, I'm not paying for anything online myself for at least another year.
And still I'm not nuts about either the item or the seller. Bottom line, no moneys from me.

That's fine, but seriously, besides not giving you something for free, what's wrong with the seller?

[Kles]

TheRedEye is not the seller, he is simply the middle man.

I can get a $500 loan from work for this.
