Its good to see a Commodore saved. I have a feeling anyone selling it like that would likely toss it in the garbage if it didnt sell at some point.
I never thought back then to go to thrift stores and wish I did. But I had picked up some good stuff at low prices in the late 90s. Thrift stores, I think, nowadays would not take Commodores or Amigas being too old to be usefull. They wont even take older PCs I bet. They have no idea the stuff is now starting to appreciate.
