I wouldn't worry so much about whether it's C= or Escom, condition should be #1 priority. The Escom units have slightly whiter plastics and there's a potential nag with the floppy drive (easily resolved), while the C= era units are more likely to have leaking capacitors (also no biggie).

Of course, a mint C= era model *might* ultimately have more collector value, though I haven't seen any real difference in prices between the two here in the States (where they're both somewhat rare).

*edit* BTW, if the computer is is nice shape, 140 euro would be a steal over here.

what unit collectors wish more ESCOM or Commodore, i check prices and Escom looks more expensive but i have feeling that collectors wish Commodore version more, am I right?

If you are just a collector and you are not going to use it don't buy it.

I really dislike these collectors who buy this stuff just to joy of owning.

i will pass it, next in line will buy and maybe will be collector, so you never know who will buy unit after me as seller sell unit on local online page, so this teory is for me "stupid" , i will buy what i wish to buy and what i like, and yes i'm collector but i play from time to time not only collect.
