C64 system cost?

[drlegendre .]

Err...

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.. =)
