I am from the generation that the C-64 was my first gaming computer. I was super excited when they announced the C-64 mini version and pre-ordered it through Amazon for $79.99. After reading the OP, I decided to have a pleasant chat with Amazon customer service and they allowed me to return my original purchase and re-buy at the discounted price. They also expedited the shipping of the new purchase, as well as instant refund once the carrier receives the return item. Thank you OP for making me aware of the savings opportunity. Much appreciated!!!!
