Price check Commodore 64 PAL
« on: February 12, 2014, 01:46:08 PM »
Hi, i am thinking about selling my american C64, and buying an european one, but have no idea what they are worth. If anyone here has a PAL one for sale, please shoot me a message. It will take some time for me to sell the american one, in order to pay, though.
Thanks!

it very depends. on a flea market probably $5, but on ebay may be 10 times of that. also depends if its the bare "breadbox" or uncluding everything.

Hi wildfruit, yeah the cost of shipping from the UK would be pretty expensive. Just in case, how much would you ask for the unit?

hehe..to get a PAL one, it's almost unavoidable of importing it from somewhere in Europe.

Most of those games blow.

Some of them work fine on a NTSC one, anyway.

I don't think it's worth it.

I didn't say it is, just assumed what he's reaching for.. though it's mostly worth for the sid tunez solely, but there are much better and more comfortable ways to enjoy sids these days than on an ol' C64..hehe.

I cant paste a link on my tapatalk but there is a German c64 on greedbay for $170 shipped from Connecticut at the moment. Bit too pricey though.

I wanted the PAL C64 to be able to play all the european games at their propper speeds. But, yeah, with the cost of shipping, it just doesnt seem to be worth it, hehe.

wildfruit, thanks for the offer. No trip to London on the horizon, but thanks anyway, hehe.

I think i will have to keep the NTSC C64, thanks guys.
