Good work!

It's fortunate that most people with dubious morals are a bit stupid.

Maybe I'm missing something.  I wonder what the actual computer looks like.  I mean all I see is a box and stuff that came with the computer.  I had a Commodore 64C and loved it. . . back in 1987.

Not as stupid as the person who has bought a C64 cardboard box.

I'd never buy anything that isn't shown in the photo.

Would you buy a cardboard box with a big X painted on it if it said it was an XBox?  People did..

Me?

I think my last post tells you.

[bobamu]

so, trying to shill on a.org, that's very naughty

oh, and I have one of these rare generic c64s with the two rare generic joysticks and a rare generic cassette unit, I also have the rare compilation games that are included in this box made of genuine rare 1980's cardboard.

wow, I should sell it on ebay and get someone to come on here and say "hey, bid like £1,000 its rare!"

still, not the worst shilling I've seen, that involved an auction price being increased by 500%

Ah Happy Days.

I bought one of these as I was a late arrival to the C64 scene. I got it with a 1541-II disk drive, MPS-801 printer and a copy of Mini Office II. I really thought I'd 'arrived' when I set it all up. Power computing.

Parents used to ban me from printing anything after 9pm. Boy was that a noisy printer.

Oh and hardly rare

I have something more rare. I have two perfect condition Stereo Commodore 64's(6 voice stereo). I made the boards right after Sid Stereo player 10.3 came out. I should put them on ebay. Haha..I bet they are rarer then a 64c.. :-D

To add my ten penneth-worth ...

As most people have already said, the C64-C was the most common machine produced for the UK market, making the original shape (often referred to as a "Bull Nose"). I think it was after the release of the desktop version of the 128 (128D) so that it was uniform.

I think the keyboard is much nicer on the original - it is more tactile.  Well, mine is anyway.  I sold my C64-C (which funnily enough was exactly the same pack as the one on the link at the beginning of this thread!).  I had no reason to keep it and got rid of it for about £20.

Rare?  No.  Collectible?  Well, it depends on how much you like to collect Commodore kit.

I have 2 of the 64C's, 1 of which is my alter-ego retro gaming machine so as others have already pointed out, hardly rare. Would you also want us to bid on your football/soccer shirts as well?

2 hopes ... Bob Hope and NO HOPE! :-)
