This reminds me of a friend of mine. He sold his Commodore 64 in the late ninetees. 98-99 or so to some guy that knew nothing about computers.

The guy asked questions like;
Q: Can I do word processing on this machine?
A: Yes I suppose so. (No lie here)

Q: Can you play cool games on this?
A: Sure, alot come with the machine. (again no lie)

So the machine was sold for 300 guilders. About 125 euro's today. And that was alot for that machine. It did came with a colour monitor, printer, datasette, diskdrive and fastloader.

But at that price? It was good for a laugh. I was saving C64's from the trash those days.

Anyway the guy didn't even come back to get revenge or something. He bought the thing and we never saw him again.

Sometimes you find the right person with the right ammount of money and above all.....stupidity.
