NOS 1541-II on eBay, 1 day left.

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 :-)

@ilwrath:

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 "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 :-)
