Can someone here please enlighten me? How much are
these things going for on
Ebay?
Well, 3 have sold in the last calendar month for between ?8.50 & ?10. Then
2 batches of 4 for circa 8.50 (so around 2.12 quid each). The first one I
saw going through eBay notched up about ?35.
I'm thinking "L@@K!!! R@R3 !!! QUICKDATA DRIVE
C64 **NIB**" :-)
Hmmm. NIB I can legitimately put (it's still wrapped in its plastic inner),
but the box is shafted...
I'll try them, thanks. I got mine from Greenweld,
perhaps they've got some
spare wafers in stock...
I suspect most of the eBay ones have come from other purchasors of Bull's
Box'o'Junk^wGoodies, BICBW.
eBay if you
don't mind paying, otherwise check out garage sales & the
like.
I saw one at a hamfest - unfortunately She Who Must Be Obeyed walked up
behind me and said "If you buy that piece of junk, you and your 'find' are
sleeping outside." Grr... Two quid for a C64, tons of disks (not that I need
them - IIRC I've got fifty of 'em) and a 1541. Well, it was a murky brown
colour with a black drive faceplate and it was 5.25", so I guessed it was a
1541. Problem was, the seller would only sell it if I took *all* of it, C64,
drive, disks, the lot.
One of these?

Mind you, there's no way I'd pay 23 quid for one...
BTW, last time I saw a C64 at a car boot sale was two
years ago. Can someone
suggest a car boot sale either in or within, say, 20 miles of Leeds,
England? I've tried the car boot sale that's usually held on Cross Green
Trading Estate weekly (every Sunday, 9AM->noon IIRC) - total white elephant.
Dunno about Leeds. The best I've been to is Hackney market (N. London,
natch). And all they had in the classic comp range was one mucky but
servicable C64C (?1), and a Mac LC ii (which I wish I'd bought, even though
it was just lying in some mud).
