Only $5 currently, they were selling for as much as $150 last time I was selling them.

I do hope you are going to ship the rest of the C64 system with it ... after all it does say "Not to be sold seperatly" on the box ... ;-)
Seriously though ... $150 ??
-
By "selling for as much as $150" I assume you mean 'started them at $150 and no-one bought them'?

@Nightshade
You are confusing me with another eBay seller.

I don't think C= will mind:-)

Yup shipped as far as Japan, Malaysia, Czech etc.
-
Are they 110 Volts?
-
@Grandma
Yes it is.
-
Well IMHO $150 is insane for them, even NOS...
-
Don't forget that this is eBay we're talking about, and often in the heat of bidding people's common sense tends to go out the window. I bought a C64 and 1541-II from Redrum last year (both NOS), and I paid slightly less than $150 for both of them :-)
-
Yep... Red sold a ton of them in that price range. I wouldn't mind a NOS 1541-II and C64c, but they went for a bit more than I was willing to spend.
The C64 was my favorite computer... up until I saw the Amiga. Then I dropped mine like a bad habit to scrounge enough money for my first Ami. ;-) I suppose it still works that way. I bought one of his NOS A500's, instead.
Unlike other vendors, they are real NOS, and in perfect shape. (As for the prices... well, people pay it. What can you say?)
-
I got a new Test Pilot pack C64C+1541-II setup on eBay a year ago for $50. I still have the 1541 new in box too. If it really goes for $150 I'll put mine up for sale!

The "slightly" was supposed to be sarcastic... IIRC I think I paid closer to $70 for both the C64 and the 1541. I did see a few of them spin out of control price-wise though (also an Atari ST that I had my eye on, but I wasn't prepared to pay over $100 on what's basically a nostalgia trip, so I was very disappointed when the price went above that)
@adolescent:
With ebay it really seems to be the luck of the draw... I've actually seen a A1000 sold for about $50 (a few years ago, when things like food took priority so I couldn't afford it :-P) and a C64 go for around $500. If you get lucky you'll have two guys with lots more money than sense fighting over it :-)

I've taken NOS (New Old Stock) to mean anything unused and still in the package. Isn't that right?

Yep... That's what it's supposed to mean. And the NOS A500 I bought from him was exactly the same as the new A500 I bought from a local shop back in 1990, or so. :-) Had all the original packaging, bags, extra cards, strange cardboard inserts, etc.
Looks like the 1541 II went for considerably cheaper than the $150 range, though. Maybe the market got saturated by the first run of his sales.

Might also be because he's no longer doing international sales.
@redrumloa
Did you get burned a lot by international folks?

Correct and correct! Most C64s abd 1541s shipped overseas. The most pouplar destinations were Japan, Italy and Malaysia.
And YES I just had a string of bad dealings internationally. I will have a permenant solution in the near future, until then I will still sell Amiga stuff to Amiga users if they are established AO or AW.NEt users.
