Commodore C64 Price Comparison
An old commercial comparing the C64 with the costs of computers from IBM, Apple and Atari.
The Al Mccray Show, Tampa Bay News & Talk. Jim Whitehorn, President of Universal Pc Specialist speak about his firm. They have been in the identical location because 1991. They service all makes of computers. They offer quite low costs of computers and laptop or computer items. This business has a large selection of hard to locate items.

Commodore is making a comeback with the new c64 due out this year 2011, copy and paste link in search engine, Finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/112510/new-commodore-64-nyt#mwpphu-container
@rebornonline I feel that way, though my older brother hogged the damn thing so there was no love for me!
@jrag1000 AHUM, Activision started on the Atari 2600. They also made lots of games for other systems that were popular those days, not just the C64.
Thank You Mom and Dad !! The money they spent on me was alot more than I realized.
@rebornonline A little over $1,200, actually. Almost $2000 if your folks bought a 1541 along with the C64.
Don’t forget this ad is for when the C64 was first out, around 1983-4. Within 2 years the price was practically half the £595 quoted here.. That’s why the Commodore 64 is the biggest selling computer brand of all time, with 300 million sales.
@jrag1000 their’re worth more in my esteem, but truely, you can get them super cheap on ebay, let alone local flea markets.
@OBSysteme
well worth more considering just about every game company in existance got their start on the C-64 platform, from Activision to Sega.
@jrag1000 I’d say they are more worth like 30 to 100$ depending on what comes with it, but that is simply just because they are common on the market due to their past success (C64 = the most sold computer model in history, from 1982 to 1992).
People today are not able to write command lines, which lowers the demand for these little jewels, but everybody should have their own C64. Beats using today’s computers as over-sized DVD players.
@themooddisorders don’t get it, but it sets the screen to black i believe!
…with 37.8KiB of usable memory!
@jkeelsnc
The Atari 400 and 800 were close to what the C64 could do graphically and sound wise.
But there were more expensive than the C64.
I saved up ALL my money to buy a C64 in 1982! We crossed border shopped for is – as it was cheaper in the US than in Canada. Spent an entire week in Albany NY in order to avoid paying duty on it.
Cool collections

Nerd Joke, do you get it?
wish I could find an old one to fart with
No, they are not yet worth more than they were new. LOL However, they are collectible and a cool piece of early computing history. Show me any 8 bit machine of its time that could do the graphic and sound capabilities of the C64? Uhmm, NONE. At the time for the cost it was unmatched. Apple had more expansion capability but that is about it. I liked all computers but for the money the C64 was pretty cool.
And Microsoft comes to blow them all away.
