Bah! The group that you refer to is not worth EU$24 million, plain and
simple. The Commodore brand name is meaningless in the greater
marketplace at this point. Sure you've got a few thousand diehards that
might buy a Commodore MP3 player as a novelty, but what does that net you?
24 MILLION
Euro? FOR WHAT? Commodore means NOTHING commercially anymore.
It's a god damn pyramid scheme at this point. Each new owner hoping to
find an even more naive buyer than they were.
Does it? I think it might, now that all the kids that grew up on C64s have
money. Anyway, 24 million Euro just isn't that big of a
business transaction
these days.
It is when it's used to purchase dust.
