Whilst Dragons where not as popular as Acorn/Comodore/Sinclair kit, they 
  I believe sold in the 100s of thousands so hardly rare....

The seller also cant spell serial, now whilst I realise that not 
everyone is good at spelling (me included....), one would think that the 
seller would at least run it through a spelling checker....
