As everyone says worth is a relative term, some computers that hvae high perceived values are given to people, etc. This is a question YOU have to answer as a collector, no one can set your price for you. Well alot of the PETS were purchased by schools and some businesses, prices for the computer back then when they were new (1977-1981) ranged Nowadays in my region of California schools have been ridding themselves of them at a high rate. The computers are not too terribly hard to come by but the drives are harder to find. Rarity? Hmm, probably the most interesting is the original series with it's colorful calculator-style keyboard (circa 1977) and in-case cassette unit. Next I would say is the SuperPET (circa 1981, the last of the line, which I described about two digests ago) with it's mainframe-friendly, multi-language ability. All units had monochrome displays and either 40x25 or 80x25 screens (no hi-res graphics without 3rd party hardware), the BASIC is almost exacly the same as in the Commodore 64 or VIC-20 and uses a 6502 processor. Memory ranged from the first 4k units (a short run), 8k, 16k and 32k with some of the latter 80 column machines sporting 96k expansion bnoards. There are a few collections of programs available on the internet with most still to be re-discovered. That's true, back then they 'looked' like a modern computer, more than some of the other computers (which looked like the steel boxes they were in). You can spot them as props in movies now and again (Star Trek II, in Kirk's apartment). They were fun, and they were pretty good even for their limitations. If you are a fan of Commodore computers it is a nice addition to have some PETs in the house. ;) Commodore was pretty big for a good while in other countries as they had the foresight to start manufacturing plants internationally (Germany was probably one of its largest). As far as shipping a PET it would require a very sturdy box about the size needed for a 19" television and would weigh 30 to 40 pounds. -- Larry Anderson -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Visit our web page at: http://www.goldrush.com/~foxnhare/ Call our BBS (Silicon Realms BBS 300-2400 baud) at: (209) 754-1363 -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
