Estimates as to the actual number of machines found on the open market range from 50 to 2000 units.


If it's in the higher range that's a hefty price for the C65.
Would want it in my collection :) but for those amount I'll pass xD

I supposed that now we'll get a lot of clueless people trying to sell their normal C64s on eBay with astronomic starting bids.

I suppose if they dig out of their closet one of the late wedge shaped C64Cs (compact models) they'll think they've hit a gold mine.

I don't think it's worth that much. I'd say bout $3000 at most.

Grapevine Group was selling a bunch of 65s in various states of operation for between $200 and $400 back in the day.  I kick myself every time I see something like this, or read about the 65 because I didn't buy one.

I wish one would fall into the hands of someone who could build a FPGA version Id gladly put some cash down if there was a kickstarter or something.

So apparently anywhere from 20 to 200 where made?

Is someone holding a secret stash of 'em, waiting to sell 'em little by little at around 20k each?
