Subject: The Commodore 65
Ok...anyone know who dropped the big 20 kilobux on
this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120784313119?s
Not saying it's not worth it (I've certainly never seen a working one,
ever,) but the price is still a shock. Big $ for an Apple 1 I can
see...there are collectors of "cultural icons" like the original Apple
product outside of our hobby. I can't see the same being so for a
Commodore relic.

Won by a 0 feedback buyer, good luck getting $20K from them.
I never seen an Apple I being that big of a deal other then to people who
collect Apple, the C65 is the same for Commodore collectors. There will
always be collectors shelling out serious cash for the unusable rarities
while other collectors pay trivial amounts for the common machines that
actually have some software and hardware available.
