    Up yours! I've been a saint. Although with 7 days left and the current bid at 2,500 Euros, I think I'd have to win the lottery to be able to afford it.

    Maybe we should open do a sweepstake on how much it will eventually go for...

    Sure. Here's the text. There's a YouTube vid and some photos too.


    The C65 (aka C64DX)

    was designed as successor of the famous 64. Unfortunately it suffered from important issues like compatibility and marketing. Only a small number of samples (200 - 300) ever were built.

    Today, not more than 50-60 units may have survived. Due their rarity and increasing value they are in permanent possession by collectors. This can be the chance of your life time to get your hands on one.

    This unit comes in very good shape and seems to be fully operative. Known(only) issues: The trap door on the bottom is "missing" and the "Return"-key does not work (You can type "CTRL-M" instead or maybe its easily to fix) - otherwise the C65 is in near pristine condition and seems never to be used.

    On the pcb there is a handwritten 13 - obviously the serial #

    Even the PSU (black, Model: PSM - 65 - 2) is included.

    It will be shipped insured up to Euro 500 by austrian postal service.
    If you wish a higher rate or another carrier so please let me know after auction ends to find out the accurate rates.

    It does look great, and something of a collectable. Also looks great with the built in drive. I've downloaded the picture from the auction and attached it so you can see.

    Price dropped back down to €2700, but that is still madness. Could buy one of those new top of the range Z series Panasonic Plasmas for that!

    ur not the messiah, ur a very naughty boy!

    €3,280.00

    Whatever it goes for, I really hope the buyer will actually USE it - program it, push it's hardware to the limit and show us what it can do. I'd hate to think of it not being used, or worse, only used to play C64 games.
