Wanta a laugh? As-Is 64C system for $2,000.

[redrumloa]

Heck, it looks fairly sharp, but even without the "As-Is" comment $2,000 is a wee bit of a stretch :roflmao:

Not quite as wacky but here is another one. :roll:

Well to be fair, the starting bid is only $500. And hey, they have JiffyDos. That make all the difference! :-P

Must be the fact it has an 060 card. Maybe you can get them to include the digital keyboard in the background too for that price.

Yeah that's a bit high but at least it has an 060 card, which for the 2000 is pretty rare.

No way I'd pay that  :-P

Wow:

I saw a very nice C-64 in my local Thrift store (wasn't very yellowed, with all docs and such for $25.

This is 4 months back, so not sure if it is still there or not, but if I can turn around and sell them for that kind of cash, maybe I will go buy it :-D

Personally, I have no real interest in the C-64s, but they were pretty cool at the time :-)

I wish those sellers good luck.

I have stopped using E-Bay permanently as a seller or a buyer because I feel that there are too many people out to take other people.  (Not saying that these sellers are in that category, because the rule of capitalism is "What the market will bear".)   But I certainly even offer up the starting bid when I seem to be able to find rather nice looking and functioning C-64s all over the place for $5 -$20.

Anyhow, maybe someone feels for their 64 like many of us feel for our Amiga and may be nostalgic enough to spend the money :-)

that a2000 is nice but the $500 should be a buy it now price with maybe a $100 starting bid. see then i would have already put a bid on it.

 I got a C128 and disk drive for $35 in the boxes in a Cinncinnati Ohio thrift store in the 90s.(still have it.)
And 8 C64s at another one for 50 cents each.
Had so much C= stuff that I got rid of most of the boxes and packing to make room in the house;then found out people on eBay would pay double for original boxes!

 C= should have made JiffyDos standard and sold even more C64s.

I am guessing that this is one of those joke auctions that pop up on eBay from time to time (like people trying to sell an old sock for $100) - I doubt he actually expects someone to pay 2 grand for a $5 computer.

Hmmm...I'd sell the 64C sitting next to me, with the 1084, CMD FD-2000, 1541-II, and 1571 for $500 without a problem  Heck, for $2K I'd deliver it!

Greed is a funny thing, aint it?

[TjLaZer]

To be fair, that C64 lot has some high ticket items. the 1581 alone is worth almost $100 !  And the rest is mint in box, so $500  is about right for a true collector.

The A2000 also is loaded, and the 060 card alone is worth ~$350 or more, figure $100 for the A2000, etc thats about right.  Lets not forget that.  People want Commodore stuff for nothing these days...  sheesh  

[c64_d0c]

i agree with TjLaZer, its nothing wrong with the prices... that c64 stuff is mint and it got that 1581, the a2000 got a 060... some of the people here must stop compare with todays pc prices, and remmember a mint c64 with mint stuff and a a2000 060 dont grow on trees anymore..
