thats what it is, my friend's dad has it, I'm getting it for free. Has box and everything. How much is it worth?

$2 from a goodwill for the system.. it's all in the carts. Fun system though.

not a whole heck of a lot really, boxed stuff is always cool though. the 64 is where the love is at and even that doesnt cost very much. as a rule of thumb almost nobody pays good money for 8 bit computers in the US. TI-99, atari 400/800, TRS-80 cocos, mattel aquarius whatever, nobody shells out for em...which i find odd since the nostalgia factor is there, i guess they're just not F-U-N only machines. you really cant give these beasts away in many cases.

yeah I knew it had to be only worth like 10-15, maybe he has some carts for it though. He said he had atari and intellivision but threw them out a long time ago.

Not too great of a market out there for classic computers unfortuneately =\. I have a boxed c64 and saw a c128 today but passed on it. I saw a vic-20 a while back and wish I had picked it up as I found about 10 carts for it yesterday, including a Galaxian.
