A friend of mine was checking out the local thrift/used item (not

said "64 Computer - $2000." He went to the back where it was... A C64, no
monitor, no disk, no tape, no PSU. They were serious. He and his girlfriend
laughed at the people and left.
Just like the guy I saw at a hamfest that wanted $200 for a Packard Bell
386. (Next to the guy that was selling the Toshiba 386 laptop with docking
station for $25 - I talked him down to $20)

Speaking of ebay: here is a $700 commodore 64
with the reserve not met

Yeah, that'll sell real quick. Why they won't even notice all the C64's
on there going for $10 and $12...with software even!
Oh well, everyone's gotta learn sometime...
