Plus 1's are actually very common indeed ... there's usually at least two or
three on eBay every week ( though I know you don't "do" eBay! ;) ).

Here's a quote from <http://wouter.bbcmicro.net/misc/collecting.html> to back
me up ... :P

"On the topic of 'RARE' (caps compulsory, esp. in conjuntion with ebay), 
"the following are NOT rare, sellers, take note or be ridiculed forever: 

"- Acorn Electron
"- Plus 1 for Acorn Electron (ebay.co.uk) Probably the most produced add-on 
" for the electron. Rare? Gimme a break. 

I don't consider the official Plus 3 to be majorly "rare" either ... they
certainly seem to be appear on eBay a lot more often than certain other types
of Electron disc interfaces e.g. Slogger Pegasus, Cumana DFS and especially
the Pace EDFS (don't know anyone who's even /seen/ one of these).
