Complete Commodore64 value?

[Psittac]

My uncle passed away recently and he has this Commodore 64 with monitor and floppy drive.

 

I have no use for it but I know that people want this kind of thing, the boxes could even still be around, haven't looked that hard.

 

How much is this worth as a package and where should I sell it? Also should I sell it individually?

I'm not going to say it's worth a fortune but it certainly has value, being what it is.
I don't know what value to place on it but I do know those can fetch sone decent money at least, depending on the exact model/version it is and what accessories you have to go with it.

poke around on ebay and compare. you might make more splitting it up but as a lot it may be less hassle.

That looks like a Commodore 128 so probably double what a 64 is worth.

So sorry for your loss.

 

A complete C64c setup like that, in working order, should be worth a few hundred dollars to the right buyer. Check on eBay sold listings, take a bit off of that if you're selling locally.

Commodore refreshed the C64 with a 128-like case in 1986. I think those are less common than the "breadbin" C64, but they're not worth C128 money.

Huh.  The C-128 was my daily driver in college.  I had no idea they continued the C-64 like that.

If you can find an enthusiast you might be able to get 400 or 500 for the package.

I sold a lot of C64 stuff last year before moving.  It sells, not stupid money.  but take your gf/bf out for dinner one night money certainly.  Also @8tg bought a complete C64C set a couple of years ago iirc.  You could ask them what they paid for it.

Depends where, here in Europe they're way more common and it's actually pretty hard to find a breadbin one.

 

A C64 with floppy goes for about $100-150 here, the monitor is probably the most valuable since they're pretty rare, seems most people have either dumped the large and heavy CRTs and kept the smaller computer in the attic over the years or are keeping it if they still have it.

Nah, Commodore power supplies just short line voltage onto the DC side instead!

[Kilrah]

Not that much, but yeah the 5V reg is known for failing short and putting out that transformer coil's unregulated output out and fry stuff.

 

I have yet to get/make a replacement PSU for mine tho  So annoying one output needs to be AC...

I had a C64 and just hooked it up to a TV with coaxial. So did everyone I knew who had such home computer (inc. Atari etc.). Only the "rich" with Amiga 500 could afford separate monitors where I lived. If my sample of a few is valid, I suspect they never sold many monitors compared to the number of computers 

[Kilrah]

Yeah that too

400-500 euros, maybe more, I'd say. looks in good'ish (?) condition,  has an original commodore monitor, maybe even boxed... some peripherals ...

 

 

Unlike modern day stuff you should definitely sell it as bundle it's more valuable this way.

 

I'd start with 600 euros... but not go lower than 400...

Probably around that price range, $300-$400 complete.

You can get into some finite details on what specific C64c it is, generally speaking the later year models are more desirable.

looks like a newer model, and yeah looks like a 128, i didn't know they changed the casing.
