    Default Commodore 8050 Dual Floppy Drive

    I saw one of these giants at my local Goodwill Computer Works store priced at $30. I was wondering if anybody knows what these things are worth. I've looked on eBay but there are none to be found to get an idea of value.

    I've seen them sell for $50-$75 +shipping if working. Because of the cost of shipping, you might actually find a local buyer, using craigslist or similar, willing to pay more just to avoid the shipping cost. You should also look for the interface cable. Commodore used a variant of the IEEE488 standard that has an odd connector on the computer end and your chances of selling it are dramatically higher with the cable.
