Ed Salisbury Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Saw this today in my feed and had to share, since many of us see so many (bad) CL postings: Have you been looking for that one last piece of 80's memoribilia to add to your collection? Well look no further. For sale is a Commodore 128 in its original box... but wait, there is more. If you're the next caller we're going to throw in the disk drive in its original package for free. Yes Free! Both the computer and the external disk drive bundled together make this a great gift for computer geeks, 80's nostalgia collectors or people who have heavy doors that need to be proped open. Originally retailed at $500, all of this can be yours for two easy payments of $75. HOWEVER, if you call right now, we'll cut those payments in half. You get the Commodore 128 and the disk drive for one easy cash payment of $75. Don't delay, our operator is standing by to take your order and arrange a time for you to come pick them up. Due to high caller demand, we are placing a strict limit of one on your order. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Call now. 720-394-4538 Originally from http://denver.craigslist.org/sys/2526390117.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatta Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That's a decent price if it's a 1571 drive with the C128. Could always try talking him down to $60 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Damn operators must be on a break. They aren't standing by at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 And I could even pick it up... it's local! Probably long gone by now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Always fun to find a good post on craigslist. Mostly because it is so rare. Sadly I live too far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) $75 seems a bit step to me, but the Ad is GREAT! I passed on a 128 with drive and games for $50 the other day. The price was about right, but my pockets were empty. B Edited August 3, 2011 by bigbee99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
