Commadore 64 in box?
How much would a Commadore 64 in box with all hookups be worth? looks like its in good condition, has styros and so on.
If it's the breadbox version, probably around $20. I recently sold a pristine boxed 64C for about $60 (which seemed high but I'm not complainin').
Aren't Commodore 128's a bit more than plain 64's? I have one of those in a 64 box, complete with hook-ups.
In Heaven, everything is fine.
I would say selling it at $30 to $40 on craigslist, probably more on ebay. Then again, evilbay will take 20 percent. There is always gamegavel.comOriginally Posted by yoshilime53

Where are you getting your %20 idea?
Condoleezza Rice is nice, but I prefer A Roni!
That's not a terrible number, actually. I assume he is including Paypal, which you pretty much have to include. And it is more accurate for a BIN of about $40 than for an auction. The auction starting at .99 would run more like 10-15%.
I know it sounds like a dumb question, but is it tested and working?
I'm preparing to try it, although I have no idea how to tell if it functions properly. Do they just boot up like plain computers, or do they need software inside to start?
In Heaven, everything is fine.
It should boot to a command prompt.
Yup, for a 128, you should see a screen that looks like this:
Okay, thanks guys.Yup, for a 128, you should see a screen that looks like this:

Assuming it boots, the most common problem is a defective keyboard, so try out every key. You could test the SID chip too, but I've found the later model SID used in the 128 to be far more reliable than those in the breadbox 64s.
I picked one up several months ago for $15, but didn't have manuals or Styrofoam inserts. The guy asked for a fair price so I gave it to him as I'm not out to screw someone over that wanted to honestly unload an old computer with hook-ups, sleeves, and box that worked. Truthfully they aren't rare and are generally undesirable if they don't include drives, software, or other external devices. People are flexible if it doesn't include a monitor as I have mine hooked up to my Sony 32" Trinitron CRT.
As a side note, a thrift store up the road has a C=128 with spreadsheet software and some Microsoft Windows stuff all loose floppies, hook-ups, floppy drives, and a tattered box for $80. I asked if the monitor was in the back someplace to just be told no, so at the point I laughed and left since they wanted to charge me $10 for a scratched up Pacman picture disc vinyl when records are supposed to be $2. It had no special tags identifying it as rare or at a higher price, but the 60-something cashier lady and manager were determined to get 5x their normal asking price (up until Spring '08 all records were $1 and less at this place).
