Check eBay right now. A complete system with everything you want, without the SD card interface. Has 17 hours left. Bidding with the cost of shipping is at $217.00. It will cost you under $100.00 for the SD interface. You might get everything you want for around $400. Type in at eBay search

C64 system cost?

Hey, I've been looking into getting a C64 system to play with. I'm looking for not just the computer, but a 1541, a datasette, color monitor, printer, joystick and modem, and some software. Eventually I'd like to get an SD card adapter, too. Can someone give me an idea as to how much I might end

One thing I forgot to mention.. while the C-64 and 1541 are fairly common and not worth all that much, some of the accessories can be +moderately+ valuable, so it's always a Good Idea to check out lots or complete systems to see what rare, valuable little gems might be hiding in the pile. One good

Try your local freecycle or craigslist if you are in the USA. Most of my C64 machines came from freecycle, people used to just give that stuff away. A working C64 should be cheap, 1541 drives cost a $20 or so locally. The monitors vary in price but I don't think that many are around and
