mother of all Commodore 64 collections

[Punisher5555]

I have the mother of all Commodore 64 collections.

I have everything for the Commodore 64.

That includes every known program or game ever made for the system. I think it is over 600+ disks and cassette tapes. I am deadly serious when I mean EVERY program or game.

On the hardware side I have virtually every thing for it. That includes everything from 2-SX-64's to a copy protection beating chip installed in the 1541. How about a European PAL c64. Got it. All the actual Commodore maintenace/repair manuals. Got it.The only thing I never bought was a CMD hard drive.

I even have all the Commodore 64 magazines from that era!!!!!!

I am going to put it up Ebay for auction but I don't know what to ask for the collection. I was thinking of $500, but I don't know.
The shipping alone would cost a bundle as it fills the volumetric space of 5'x5'x5' or more.

Anyone have ideas?

Any questions you have about the collection just ask.

Sure, starting at $500 sounds good....if you have thought of a price, why ask us? You say you'll put it up for auction, set it up for $500 and let people bid. That will tell you how much it's worth.

if it were me.......i would start it at $1.......i know it sounds crazy......but well........just let it go.......people are scared more by the starting price than anything.......i've seen people set the starting price just under what the item actually sells for and they never sell it......people get into low starting auctions.......just my thoughts......you pay way too much to have a starting bid of $500

Ah hah hah LOL

Considering I own over 400 cartridges, more than 1000 tape/disc originals and I've onlyl got roughly 15-20% of the total C64 output, I've still got a long way to go! O_O

No one can possibly have everything original... though the GB64 project is getting there for collecting an example of everything ever released...

Thanks for the input guys. I am going to get all the stuff together and put it up on Ebay.

Regarding the collection. I was 14 when I first got my c64. I am now 33. I collected everything for it. I was very heavy into "hacking/cracking" in those days. BBS's, swap meets, usergroup meetings, even at school. I lived in Germany for some years and collected more there.

You say you have everything. Do you have any prototype hardware? I migth interested in that.

I am trying to remember some of the oddball things I have.

I do have a lot of oddball things on cassette from the U.K. I got them when I was in Cyprus on military assignment at a British base.

I have a german c64 w/european power supply. I have one working SX-64 with another one you could put together to make a working one. All sorts of joysticks and a trackball. A RS-232 converter with a Okidata 180 Plus dotmatrix printer. A Okimate 10 color printer. I have tons of unopened print cartridges for both. All the modems from 300 to 2400 baud.

There is so much more hardware I can't think of right now.

Probably the most wanted things from the collection are the hacking/cracking tools. Ranging from software to a daughter board installed in a c540 (1541 clone) that was the pinacle of the tools for the c64.
