Petro Tyschtschenko to sell his commodore systems.

Petro sells his collection of material

Petro Tyschtschenko, former president of Amiga International, said on Facebook in early July he was retiring. His statement said that at the age of almost 73 years, it was time for him to say goodbye. He took the opportunity to announce that his collection of material Commodore / Amiga will be sold. This presents some rarities collected for the years 1982 to 2001: the Walker prototype (1996), PET 2001 (1977), SX64 (1984), A1000 (1985), CD32 (1993) A1200 Magic Pack (1992) A500 (1987), C64 (1982), C116 (1984), C128 (1985) and a VC-20 (1981). Contact: petrot@power-service-gmbh.com.

If he's really selling the walker prototype we should contact him and pool our monies to secure it. It should be preserved in a museum.

He wants 25.000 euro for the Walker. Based on the price he saw for an Apple I on E-bay. Like the Walker was ever as historic as an Apple I ...

Funny, this is the first thing I think of when somebody says "Walker".

LOL.... at my age this is the first thing I think of....  :lol:

[Duce]

He's delirious if he thinks he's going to get Apple I money out of the Walker, lol.

25,000 EUR... sounds like when somebody really doesn't want to sell an item, but they put it out there anyway, figure it would pay for a year of his grandkids college, or six months in a nursing home, if some sucker actually does buy it.  Heh.  Oh wait, he's in Germany, his grandkids get to go to college for free, lucky #)$%&@.  

Alternate theory:  his nagging wife told him "you better get that junk out of here!" and then when it doesn't sell, he can say "well honey, I tried!" *wink wink nudge nudge*.

I thought there already was someone interested and willing to buy his complete collection for something like 40.000 euro!!!

really? If true then some crazy people seem to have too much money

I would not buy it even if I had the money

[Yasu]

There was this guy who took a second morgage to buy it. But since he didn't finalize the purchase before he took the morgage he got pissed when Petro said he wanted more. That thread on Facebook is epic
