Selling Stuff: C-64s

I bought these two Commodore 64 units about seven years ago because I wanted to start writing music on them... The old SID chip sound is amazing, and even if old computer user interfaces are hard to deal with, I thought I could try and experience the ultimate 80s music writing workflow.

I just turned them on a couple of times to see if they worked. I never ever connected them to a monitor. And I had TWO units because one wasn't enough! How clever!

After moving the last December I thought that it was enough, so I decided that I had to sell them. There are lots of vintage computing nerds (in a good way) in my twitter TL, so I decided that it was a nice place to sell them.

My initial price was 35€, so many many people messaged me with better offers (they sell on eBay for about 30USD each). It was an easy deal to close: I ended up selling them in 60€ + shipping.

I still have many things I don't use so I will be thinking about what else should I sell really soon!
