How much is my extremely old computer worth?

[Guest Gazzer96]

I have a really, really old computer called the Commodore VIC20 and I was wondering, would anybody be able to tell how much it is worth? Sadly, it does not work any more, but I'm thinking that it could be a collectors item, not sure though. I also have all the manuals somewhere in the house.

 

Plus, I have a a casset player with the computer called the Commodore 1530 datassette model C2N.

 

Help will be appreciated!

For larger bundles, with some software and peripherals they usually go for around 100$.  And that is if the computer is working. And one guy on eBay is currently selling his Vic-20 for 49,99$ Sadly those old Commodore computers sold rather well, so there are a lot of them.

That's Vintage computer. They are pretty rare, and were made a bit after the Apple 2.

 

Last time I saw some on eBay they were going for ~200 or 300$, (going up to 500$ depending how good its condition is)

 

If getting these couple of hundred bucks wasn't necessary, then keep it, it's a rare piece of vintage history.

I'm not sure where @Irontheater is looking,but from what I see most units without the cassette player sell for $20,with it sell for $30,and with peripherals and games ~$80 - $120

It actually depends on its edition, number...etc

Here's one I saw not long ago: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COMMODORE-VIC-20-COMPUTER-first-edition-BRAND-NEW-PRISTINE-box-pow-PET-keys-64-/300894651751

And a quick ebay search turned up some which were selling for $40, and others which were going for $200+. http://www.ebay.com/itm/COMMODORE-64-and-VIC-20-PAL-german-UK-COMPUTERS-tested-working-POWER-rf-modula/290903806664?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=019&category=162075&cmd=ViewItem
