    Lot of Commodore, Texas Instrument computers and components (lots of pics)

    Hello all. I am interested in selling this lot of Commodore and Texas Instrument realted items. I wish not to recycle these items as scrap. I would like to see them end up with someone who will appreciate and preserve them instead. I am not a computer tech, I can email, post pics and watch Netflix, thats about it, lol. I have not tested these items aside from plugging them in to see if the power lights go on. All did except for the printer, I did not even bother to attempt as I was busy with other things. The floppy drive does have a cracked piece of plastic on the bottom of the unit (see photo of me pointing to area). I do not believe this affects the units perfomance, but just wanted to make any potential buyers aware. The Commodore 64 in the box is not new, it has been handled and apears to have been enjoyed. There are some scuffs and scratchs on these items so please do not expect perfect condition. There are soem joysticks, a mouse and various power supplies as well as cables. One of the Commodore's, has a lable affixed to the bottom of it saying that it has chip that is no good or something to that effect. The Texas Instrument is in the box as well and will include all brochures seen in pic. I ave not tested this item as well. I am located in NY in area code 10925. Please feel free to send reasonable offers. I would really like to sell this as a lot then separate. Sorry for the long post but I am trying to be as specific as possible.

    I don't think the mouse belongs to the commodore stuff. As far as I know the first mouse C= used was on the Amega systems. That first C=64 (closed box) is the "new" style, it has the same body as the C=128.

    I had some early Radio Shack "CoCo" PC's everyone of them had extended ram cards inside which were worth much more than the whole pc the extended ram sold individually.

    Since then I always open up vintage PC's to see if there's been any upgrades added.

    Commodore sold the 1351 mouse for use with GEOS on the C64 and C128. A different model number means it could be for the Amiga (either way they sell for $15+).

    There is a C64 specific forum called Lemon 64 Lemon - Commodore 64, C64 Games, Reviews & Music! with a forsale section.

    P.S. few people want to buy a whole lot like that, especially since it is all common equipment.

    I beg to differ. I like a lot like that. Send me a PM about total numbers and we can see what we can do. Keep in mind that shipping to me will take a huge chunk out of the profit. Or click and e-mail me. I am trying to specialize in these and woul like to get ahold of these if the price is right.

    Currently I am just stcokpiling these items as there is just too much stuff coming in. Untested, I can give you at least double scrap. Hoping to make a deal.

    Unfortunately at this point in the game I have no clue what to offer for untested material as I will have to set on it until I can get some time. Stuff is so insane here, I have had to drop my Craig's list adds.
