You are a fine optimist Ismenio but there is hope of a commercial product with
it being researched and developed in Hong Kong. If it was in Britain the
research would be great, then we would regard exploitation as a bit iffy, chuck
it in an old box and start on something else.

The Robot on Ebay sounds like a bit of a risk. I think if you were seriously
considering bidding on this you would need to know much more about its
condition. How much would you bid for a large beautiful paperweight?

Now Steves Robot we know all about and could bid with confidence :))
