I've got the following:

main computer system
1541 add-on disk drive
power cables for both the drive and computer
connector cable (to connect drive to CPU)
head vibration protector (for use when in transit)
Commodore user's manual
disk drive user's manual
3 Gemstick joysticks
vinyl cover for the computer
and a floppy which contains the games Jupiter Lander, Omega Race, Frogger, Pitstop II, Ghostbuser (yes, spelled like that), River Raid, Spy Hunter, and Boulder Dash

I know absolutely nothing about this stuff: I don't even know if it works, or what goes to what. I'm thinking those joysticks are for a 2600, but they came with the c64, and the jack is right. These things are all over the place on ebay price-wise, and the dust covers (though different from mine) have gone for $20+ alone. So, what is this lot worth in it's as-is, untested state, and what would it be worth if it worked?

The computer and disk drive together, if working fine, probably about $30-40. The disk is nothing cos it's copied games. Not sure about valueing the sticks, but any 9 pin style works fine on the C64 as it does on the 2600.

Somebody ended up buying it all for $50. I'm pretty surprised, because I listed it all as-is, untested, on dime listing day. Postage was cheaper than expected too, so in the end I made $61. Not bad for something I got for $1 at a garage sale!
