Ive seen them on ebay before, although it could be this very same seller. Would really like to have one, but this is just too much. I'm better off bidding on a C64GS, also quite rare but going for a few hundred euro so a bit more within reach.


I've actually got a C64GS.  I got it for £5 from a bargain bin in Tandy in the UK back in the 1990s.

Unfortunately it is unworking, but I think it can be fixed.  Just never looked into it.

I may just swap the ROMS out of it into a real C64 and see if anything happens.

They change hands for 1/3 of that price in working condition so it's typical ebay loser going OTT with his mouldy old shit :)


The guy with videos on youtube sold his 3 months ago for about AUD$15,000.  So the advert isn't that far off.

I called my brother today and asked if he wanted to have a share in this one, but he said no.  So I'll not be bidding.

If it were £5k I may hazard a bid!

1 hour to go and no takers.

Looks like he may have asked for too much.
