Annoyingly I can only find one charger! I've listed them on eBay together. Fixed price £150 or make an offer. Will see what happens. They don't owe me anything so I'm not that fussed but we'll see what happens. The ihp-120 in particular is in mint condition, it really is. The 140 has seen an awful lot of use and is far more scrappy.... That's running rockbox and a 60gb drive.

I would imagine you could get £150 for the mint ihp-120 already. That is not a bad price for the both, plus the remote.

Blimey, hope so. I'd be happy with that for the both to be honest. Haven't used them in a while really.

Easy to find on eBay if you're interested

Seen them already, the 120 looks practically unused!
I think my DAP collection is full at the moment, but I'm sure someone will have them off you

A quick root around in the chest of drawers - and all in working order!


An iRiver iHP-120 - more capable than the equivalent iPod of the same era.


A Seiko MC-2200 Pocket Computer with printer and microcassette recorder - an Epson clone.


A Canon Canonet QL17 G-III 35mm rangefinder.


A Commodore Business Machines SR 7919 - my first calculator, still capable of spelling 'hello'



How time flies....!

Awesome collection but .......... come on, LED calculator crying out for 55378008

Why is he 120 going for more than the 320?

I think, but I may be wrong here, that the 100 series had optical SPDIF out, while the 300 series did not for some reason.

Hope so. Had no idea they'd fetch anywhere near that. The 120 is very tidy, the 140 is very scrappy but works absolutely fine once it's turned on with the remote.

There's a great post over on Digital Antiquarian about copy protection and it's evolution, if you're interested. It does get quite geeky

Interesting, thanks!

Aren't they part of the same company?

As someone kindly pointed out earlier, it was my mistake - the Seiko machine is a copy of a Sharp model, not Epson

Yes, Seiko-Epson are effectively the same company!

I have one of these tucked away in a drawer somewhere.

Could do with your advice Finlandia - someone has offered "45 for the H120 with the case but without the charger or remote (so I could sell the H140 separately..... 8s that too little? What do you think?

£45 seems a little low, the prices can't have plummeted that much as they were going for silly money just over a year ago still.

Then again, maybe you can get around the £100 mark for both, sold separately, so still not bad. Try checking recently sold ones and see what they have gone for, then consider the near perfect condition of the 120.

Hmmm, I'll have a think. He said he's thinking of bidding on another one, so asked if I could let him know by tomorrow night, but I can't see another one for sale....just a H140 which is going for £80 at the moment.... I've asked him to send me a link to the one he's looking at, not had a reply yet...

I'll wait and see if he gets back to me.

Many thanks

Didn't you say that you were just going to bin it before? £45 seems quite a good deal for something you were happy to get rid off for nothing.

Yes, I guess that's one way of looking at it. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't hold out for more if I can get it....no?

May get back and see if he'd accept £57 + £3 postage....

I'd guess if his opening gambit was £45 you'd probably get £60.
