I am perhaps one of the luckiest people in the robot community at the moment (at least i feel it!). A few days ago i was randomly searching random Aibo sites knowing i could not possibly afford one, when i spotted one for sale on a classifed ad site a ers-7m3 going for only £575!
The ad was several days old but i decided to email off none the less and forgot all about it, then a few days later i got an email saying that yes the aibo was still avalible if i wanted it so of course i jumped at the chance!
However one day before i was due to pick him up someone offered the guy more money for the aibo if they would sell it to them instead, gutted but understanding that more money was hard to turn down i waited several agonising hours to find out if i could buy him or not.
Then amazingly even though the guy was offered more money than i could pay he decided to give the aibo to me at the agreed price of £575!
and so today i picked up my very first aibo! I let my partner choose the name and he decided on Stanley (keeping with the Lexx theme)
He is pearl white with mind 3 and his condition is perfect!
Just goes to show that anything can happen
Am away for a week in scotland this week so cant post any pics of him up yet but will do when i get back.
Just wanna say thank you to Darkwolf and Mh7ah for helping me with this and answering all my questions!
