  • Value of C64C with 1541-2 floppy driv?

    From Lucifer@3:770/3 to All on Thu Oct 11 23:48:01 2018
    I have the C64C, the 1541-II floppy disk drive, serial cable
    for disk drive, cable for RF out to TV,and power supplies,
    all working. I also have around 100 floppy disks.
    What's it all worth?

    I bought a similar setup about a year ago. There is no per-say, real value, just depends how bad someone wants it. I am a Commodore collector. I paid $100 USD for a 64C, 2 1571 drives, 50 disks, and a 1702 monitor. All working and all like new. Supply and demand. I once bought an original C64 in original unopened box for $25.00

    Thank you for your reply.
    I did see an earlier C64 system unit only untested and with power
    supply at $115 on Ebay.

    Commodores in general have really started to spike. I remember eBay prices used to be $40 for a like-new C64. Maybe even less.

    Now they seem to hover around $100 or more. Even Plus/4's and C128's are starting to climb.

    I saw an ebay auction for an untested C64 only without power supply.
    It had reached $115. I have seen individual disks on offer.

    I have the C64C, 1541-II, both power supplies, floppy drive cable,
    TV monitor cable, and over 100 floppy disks. All working.
    Gotta be worth something.

    Whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Condition (original box,
    fully functioning, etc) and rarity are always factors. I would think
    C-64 add-ons such as RAM and certain CART port expansion units
    (especially those from CARDCO) are probably more valuable than the
    primary hardware. OTOH, if you have an Apple 1 in operating
    condition... Sincerely,

    Did someone ever use that tape-loop "floppy" device that was available for the Commodore 64? Back in the day I could only laugh at that thing but today it probably has a certain colector's value.
