Title: Commodore 64 For Sale
Post by: CatchFiveBats on April 08, 2005, 07:29:17 PM
I've got a buddy of mine that just bought a Commodore 64 and is wanting to sell it.  He doesn't know much about it (and neither do I), but he said it works.  The parts included are:

-Commodore 64
-Box (In Good Condition)
-Power Cable
-RF Adapter
-Tape Recorder
-Instructions
-5 Tapes
    The tapes are labeled as so:
    -Supermon and Sounds
    -Snoopy Math, Mortgage
    -Sounds, Labyrinth, Amort
    -Lemonade, Bites, Bytesprites
    -Calendar, Pet Emulator

I have not actually seen this item, but I will be shipping it myself, so if I get it and it's not as advertised, I will let whoever is buying it know.

I'm pretty sure it's complete, but if anybody else on here knows, everything that my buddy has is listed up there.  If what is listed up there is a complete C64, then yes, it is complete.

If you want to buy it, make an offer, and I'll talk to my buddy and see what he says.

I'll have pics up (hopefully) pretty soon.  I've asked the guy to take pictures of everything and send them to me, so when he sends those I'll post them.

18222?  Is that a zip code?

Tynstar and I were thinking in the range of $20-$30, since that's what they're going for on eBay right now.

In England they are worth about £5 on there own. Fully working with tape deck, sticks and games, they can go for between £10 to £30.

The system usually just came with P/S, RF Adaper and the docs, so this sounds complete.  Everything else was an add-on and was sold in it's own box.  You can use any 2600 type joystick on it for games.  Most of the best games were on 5-1/4" diskette so you may want to consider getting a diskette drive if you get the system.

Okay, I've got about 13 pictures of this thing, but I'm not going to waste server space on here by posting them.  If you want to see the pictures, let me know and I'll e-mail them to you.

Oh, and just so that you all know, there are no styrofoam inserts in the box, but other than that it's complete.

Tholly if you want it go for it. I would get it just to have it. Most likely never be hooked up other then to test it.

Yeah in the UK they are pretty easy to find.  I picked up a C64 with a whole bunch of boxed games, a couple of tape decks, PSUs etc PLUS a boxed SNES, all for £19.
