+gnusto Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 This is the highest listing price I can remember for either Atari or C64. And it contains no hardware, no software. I will grant the seller that it is exceedingly rare. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115941708319?hash=item1afeaa121f:g:AkgAAOSwKfdlKVgt&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4GEpdemeEp36vPBGKiOdDbJ2Cukcd1ZjVb1sGIStuZRqQt9ASidie7hHY3wuYJLY9SysuLTZaLOEdCImHBYGda7stoYXEQyRR2VDA%2BUo2oK2DqEwiznTxUY%2Fr3KoxvnjS0PFb%2BP8UW417QlPLsCWyrNcZ6wkE9zGvTm1yewCfgKIXhUFPfEYksH1vU6psv%2BDijH66SBQ%2B7sI8XyVk7Cw3uPjezvXdUggDApvEC7pYDG1XEZgGZ%2BV7vZ9hvJV6M2YwccY277%2FSiNktAadM60kbQsWSyLb5g0V5gwuq9zeepsX|tkp%3ABFBMgrmV5-hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's painful to look at. But then again, THERE ARE CURSOR KEYS!!!!! $11.50 is much more fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe you are right. I should have offered $11.50 because of the cursor keys. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tell you what I do like though: A killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold-blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF1, would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun."

[a Mangalore presses the button, detonating a large explosive] Maybe it's not a cursor but a Joystick and the red one is fire? Using a joystick with this layout would be a nice mental challenge. Must have been all the rage at some time, I have a similarly "enhanced" machine I bought in the mid-90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houdini Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Bristles Featuring Peter The Painter Here's another gem. $2000 for a disk that looks like someone folded it up and walked around with it in their back pocket for the whole day.

Geister Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I can't believe these people are crazy for asking these prices and then having the nerve to ask for money for shipping. They must be trolling for the LOLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[a Mangalore presses the button, detonating a large explosive] I think it's pretty obvious what the red button does. It turns on the little red light that is right above the button.... DUH!

I started getting into trying to build a late 90s PC build... motherboards are going for 100-200! Some of which are untested, no CPU/RAM, etc. Hell, they didn't cost that much new!
