Commodore 232

Post by worldlam »

I thought I would come on here and give a update on the Commodore 232 that is listed on your hardware information section of this website.

It says 3-4 are known to exist well I bought one about 1 month ago on Ebay and my serial # is: AA5 000069

So that make 5 known to exist now :)

I bought it from the UK.

I find the hardware information very helpful. As it helped me in making my buying decision. Thanks for the great website Admin.

Don't leave me just hanging here...

How much did you pay for it? Do you have the auction number so we can view it before it expires?

I'm not sure how much he ended up paying for it since the seller ended the auction early, but this is the one he got:

Oh yeah... there it is... ;-)

Wow... Approximately US $2,035.01! That's just over $63 per kilobyte. :D

If you calculate it down to bit-level, it's less than 8 cents per bit.
A real bargain :)

Unfortunately he is not a real collector, he's just in it to make a quick buck and jacking up the prices on ebay.
He sold it for $3500.

I don't think the guy who bought it is a collector either. He looks like another power seller who is going to resell it.
