Any Input On Selling Price

Post by abrown72 »

Afternoon All,

New member, been a lurker for a while but only registered today as I am in need of some help from fellow Commodore 64 enthusiasts. I'm at a bit of a crossroads in regards to what I want to vest time and money into for my collections and I have been debating for a while now on testing the waters about selling off my Commodore 64 Collection. I don't mean I have a lot of Commodores, I mean it is my complete mid 1980's bedroom :-)

This is what I have, and I don't know what I should ask for a selling price, online private sale prices are all over the place, and well not the same as what I have. I will list my write-up bellow, any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, just to note my physical location is about 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto Ontario, so that may effect the asking price since I am not sure how many current, or new collectors there are in the area.

Heck, I've noticed that prices have gone up on almost everything these days. Honestly, I'm terribly annoyed by inflation and all this currency crap. The only thing that makes me feel a little better is that bitcoin can now be used to pay for almost everything. Even at my favorite casino you can do it. Hopefully soon the currency world will be completely digital.
