Not necessarily a clueless seller. I'm selling a mega system worth over $500 (eBay prices) for just $150. I know how much it's worth but I just want to get rid of it along with the dozens of magazines, manuals and peripherals that go with it. I need the space and at my age, you have to sort out your priorities. Commodore (and computers in general) just doesn't make the final cut. Tom L

It was well worth the $150 and the 340 mile roadtrip to pick it all up. Thank you. Have a great day... |
