The Sinclair QL Forum

I notice that the mystery bundle of "genuine sinclair spares and parts" has sold, sight unseen (no photos) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SINCLAIR-QL-BATCH-OF-PARTS-SPARES-/185335229320?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Did somebody here get it...
