I was browsing through a regular "assorted PC junk" ad on a local portal, when I spotted something on the photos

In less than two hours after listing, it was already gone. Lucky bastard. 🙁

It's a midi sound module on a card, basically the same functionality as a Roland SC55. That makes it the device most game music was composed with/for in the mid 1990s. Sound quality is excellent, but its value comes from scarcity combined with iconic status. You'd normally expect to pay a couple of hundred Euros for one.

I tried to warn him that he's giving away stuff worth of hundreds for practically free. Not sure if it has been collected already as it's middle of Easter. The pack consisted of a few valuable Soundblasters as well, all for 15 EURs. I am not the good guy in the story though as I would have taken them without hesitation, if I'd been first.
