Anyone need a boat anchor?  How about a door stop?

Seriously, Annie, the C-64 by itself may be worth $60 - $75.  Peripherals
extra.

Probably the best thing a computer like this is for is if you have children
who want to play games with it.  There was a lot of game software written for
the C-64.

Now, if you've got a Commodore Pet, with tape drive, that you want to unload,
that's another matter.
