Interesting ... old versions of Solaris* are almost always available on eBay
in the UK; yet a search of eBay for items available to USA currently only
shows one copy - and that is in England (in spite of being listed under
USA).
At ?5 the price is right - but the postage across the herring pond may be
prohibitive.
We are also seing lots of SS10s and 20s at low prices ... 5s tend to get a
bit more and Ultras are almost always over ?100.

2.3, 2.6, 7, and 8 (and 9) occur fairly frequently - 9 can fetch ?40-50,
earlier versions tend to be much less expensive.
