http://www.jppbm.com/ is last updated in 2011.. and their products catalog
is listed as the "1996 version"..
Perhaps a 'legacy' site, as we say? Hard to believe you can get a complete
C64 system with C-64 console, a 1701/1702 monitor, TWO joysticks, TWO 1541
drives and cables for $50.00 CDN.. =)
Joe is still in business and attends VCF
Midwest every year. Can't
say what his pricing looks like these days but he's got a lot of
inventory (especially software) and is always willing to make a deal.

I agree. Joe's got plenty of inventory, in spite of his dated web site.

Sorry, I didn't notice that Joe's site is so out of date; I'll probably see
him tomorrow and I'll be sure to mention it.
TPUG's store has been officially closed for around two years now and its web page is
also out of date, but there are still a few C64s, 1541s and power supplies in inventory;
monitors and joy sticks are all gone and I'm not sure about the cable situation:
