I'd understand the high final bid if the items were mint, new, or like new, but that C128D doesn't seem to be in nice looking condition (yellowed).

Ya, looks a little fishy to me too. All the final bidders have hardly any feedback.
The 64 dosent look to be that nice of shape and the box looks like its been run over a fue times.

The seller history seems fishy(only since so new), but the listing and picture looks legit. The bidders history looks pretty legit actually. The user who got it over $350 has a 304 overall positive rating @ 100% positive and has been registered since 1999.

Not worth that price, but that is the nature of auctions. You could list one today in better condition, and it may only gor for $40  :crazy:

I'd like to be there when the buyer asks "How do I install Windows XP on this?". :getmad:

I've been watching the Commodore 128D items on ebay for awhile now and This doesnt suprise me abit.

I've been looking for a keyboard for mine for years now with no luck. The bidding gets out of control even on items like just a keyboard :madashell:
