NOS 1541-II on eBay, 1 day left.

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'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.
