I'm sure the price is going to give me some color commentary :lol: I will sell only for a reasonable price, but the listing should help bring traffic to the store and hopefully spark some interest in people to use and/or customize their Commodores.

[LoadWB]

Only commentary I got is, good God, man, put those network jacks in a wall plate!!

Nice job there Red.

Not an "Amiga for Sale" why is it in the "Amiga for Sale" section?

[tone007]

It would look lovely next to an Amiga... and I just cleared some space next to my 3000T and 4000T. Hm..

[redrumloa]

Persia,
Respect your elders! The 128 is the older brother of the Amiga. But seriously, the webmaster here historically has allowed postings of non-Amiga items that may be of interest to Amiga users.

Well, yeah, I can guarantee no one will say "Waaaay too cheap!"   :lol:

Oh, for sure.  Talk about an ultimate 8-bit monster.  If anything can claim the title, that's it.  Really quite a remarkable rig.  It's always interesting to see what can be done when revisting "obsolete" ideas.  

Great work on it...  And why not list it?  Everything is for sale at some price, eh?

Red: nice internet marketing trick!

One of the oldest tricks in the book is to list some hardware part really cheap on something like CraigsList (second hand ads), then hundreds of people email you wanting to buy it, but you email them back that it is already sold. But guess what, in the signature of your mailrespond there is a link to your site and a message for the reader to take "action" (to click on the link and visit your site) = profit.

Collecting is one thing, but you can get some serious computing power for that price, like a pair of eight core Mac Pros.

It is not a real auction, it is a publicity stunt for his business.

[tone007]

I'm sure if someone hit the BIN it'd turn into a real auction real fast.

Who said anything about an auction? It is for sale in my eBay STORE and I guarantee if you hit buy it now, I will complete the transaction.

Funny thing is, that 128 will be more useful and entertaining to someone in the future
than any Mac or PeeCee made today  ;-)

I kinda miss my Commodore 64's. I especially am hurting the fact that I had no choice but to sell my Commodore 1581. They want way too much on eBay...

I guess I'm not going to be able to get much back into Retro-collecting until I get a chance to have a real job, a house, and the economy gets back on it's feet.

Nice little setup. Still not feeling like doing a little Benjamin Heckendorn'ish modding with it??

Well, it's bigger and heavier than two Mac Pros.  But I wouldn't give up the ability to edit video, audio and images, as well as the ability to render 3D images, for the ability to play chuncky graphic games...  Especially when a Mini can do a faster emulation of a C64 than this thing.
