[quote name='crows in black']You can plug the c64 into any TV. There is a slot in the keyboard for cartridge games but most games were on disks.
Ive never personally seen one at a yard sale but ive seen a few yard sales on CL advertised with them for stupid prices like $200
I actually got 2 C64's, 2 floppy drives, and an Amiga 1500 on CL for $20 total( to give you an idea of their actual value, which is almost nothing)[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I don't see the point if it has almost no value, also I have almost no space left so I would prefer to save the space for something that would be of a bit more value and a bit smaller in size. I never played the commodore as a kid so I don't have any nostalgia for it, but if you have played it and have space for it, then its probably worth keeping for those people. There are many things I would like to have, like some older TV's, some more VCR's, but I am just plum out of space for it, and these things don't have much value, and its not exactly easy to ship out a full sized TV. Perhaps I would make room for an Apple II but I have never actually seen one in the wild, I think it would be small enough where I could squeeze it in somewhere if the price was right and I have some nostalgia for it since I used them a lot as a kid in school. Now I didn't mind making room for something like the betamax player I got which is worth at least $150 on the low end, probably has more value than some of my consoles.
When talking about old computers and stuff, this is also getting into the territory of things that I cannot lift by myself, which poses a large problem. I was definitely at my limit with the betamax player, as I barely got it up the stairs without hurting myself. I occupy the upstairs, and its a narrow staircase, so anything I bring home I have to be able to haul up the stairs by myself. This means no CRT's or anything else heavy unless of course I am able to pick them up by myself. Most of the lots of games can be split up into multiple bags for multiple trips up the stairs, but the problem is with one heavy object, its just not happening.
