Promise, promise, not to freak out after you click on this link.
:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::lol::lol:

Wow!
-
They forgot to add the blurb about destroying it if it doesn't sell.
-
What's funny is those have been selling at crazy prices, and every time they sell the price gets jacked up just a little bit more!
edit: well, maybe it only got jacked up once.
-
i recently tested it with a game ... And it worked great and was very fast!!
+
it has never been used and is in mint condition.

I have a decked out Apple IIgs, accelerator, hard drive, and CD-ROM, that I'd be willing to sell for that price... :-P
-
Damn, I've always wanted one of them, but not at that price!
Still, if you want to keep laughing then check out his other items:
CBM 1571 floppy drive for $500 (I have one of them next to me!)
or you can have the bare PCB with no drive mechanism or case for $265!
What about a CBM CN2 cassette deck for $130 (I have one of them too!)
Great stuff. :)
-
Looks like it's in fantastic condition, I best get my bid in quick and hope I don't get sniped.
Then again I could buy a C one and keep the change.
Hmmm... ..maybe I'll let someone else snap up this bargain.
-
The shipping cost is totally unreasonable!;)
-
Yeah, I have to admit it's in beautiful condition... but good God... I could spend that money on a really nice i7 system and run Dice, and still have change for Taco Bell. For months.
-
damn I'm running to parents basement if this thing sells:roflmao:
-
I suppose as long as there are people prepared to pay these crazy prices for old hardware then the prices are going to remain at this sort of level... some people have more cash than they know what to do with methinks :/
"We will keep one for nostalgic reason and will not sell it at any price.".... sure, if that one goes for $2500 then Im sure it wont be long in following lol
-
To top it off, they say they have sold 3 128D machines (at this price?) in recent days. I might believe there's one fool out there with more money than brains, but three of them? I not so sure....
-
What if it was an A3000? ;)
-
It's been in the box brand new for 20 years, yet they don't include the box, manuals, etc. I wonder how much those cost extra...

MMMMM, maybe I should sell my 128D!
@Firedawg at that price they should be happy to throw in FREE shipping.
-
He also sells a 74ls193 chip for $20. Jameco sells them for $0.79. The Home Computer Wars book sells on Amazon for less than $30, compared to his $102. Other things sound reasonable, but a few of these things are really interesting price choices. I wonder if anyone goes for them.

Not before I sell my two.
FWIW the auction is for a 128CR (the front just says D but the back says DCR and it's metal and not plastic).
-
I a 128D's for free last year. It's in mint condition! But it's not for sale.
-
If it were truly brand new in the box, with all documentation, etc. (not true here), then I personally believe that it would be worth at least $1000. I've seen a couple in excellent condition go for $400-500 (and some crappy ones in fully working condition were not too much less).

Don't think so, Starfox. The most expensive completed sale I could turn up in search since end of January is this one. $500 seems to be the top price.

Now, to be fair, their current $2,500 auction did not turn up in my search, which it should have. So ::shrugs::

I think that's par for the course in the US. I'm pretty certain only the DCR was sold in the states.
