Thanks for the offer, but we'll get into it when we're ready.

Styggron -- which badges are you referring to as the Acornsoft ones? The one with the black enamel? I am pretty sure that is the Acornsoft version.
The Gold version is the Firebird version. Not sure if there is another BBC version. Also how did you find out only ~30 or so are in existence? Did someone from Acornsoft tell you.
Interesting - especially as there is no gold and black Acornsoft one!! And the Firebird one is blue writing on gold plating!!
I am fairly sure the black / silver ones are the original Acornsoft versions. They do go for silly cash on Ebay - I saw one a couple of years a go for 250 quid. And I think the silver wing badge went for 200 quid on ebay a while back as well ...
Amazing what people will pay for this stuff - but I am not tempted to sell mine yet!
As I said, all I was told was it was the Acornsoft Gold and Black one. I wanted to verify everything hence me asking on here.
Like you said if you are correct that there is no gold and black Acornsoft one, either the person made a mistake or it was not a genuine one I don't know. Either way I could not verify and I would NEVER pay that. Prices only go crazy because people are prepared to pay it, well I'm NOT prepared to pay ridiculous prices.
Sorry for posting twice. I forgot to multiquote this.
But if you bought them all, you'd be able to ask even sillier prices and....![]()
The Acornsoft one was offered to me but for $692AUD (with the exchange rate) no way I could ever pay that in a million years. I was told there were supposedly only around 30 approx. Acornsoft only gave them out once a month from a random letter and lost interest in 1985 and so only around 30 or so went out....supposedly. They were never given out at trade shows so very rare.
I could never verify any of it and plus I can't afford $692.
Really dumb qustion I'm sure ..... but I have a 29 year old badge that means the world to me .. http://wouter.bbcmicro.net/pictures/software/elite_pins.jpg (the one on the left) .... any plans to continue this ? (a shiny new badge for shiny new Eliteangerous players that make it to Elite)
n.b. not a show-stopper; already pledging £300 and not planning on pulling it regardless of the respose ... just curious.
p.s. if anyone want's to buy my badge ... a £300,000 pledge to Ekickstarter will sort the deal, anything less ... sorry, it's worth more to me ;-)
