Should I bother to keep my Commodore 64 ?

Question

For those of you too young to remember, it's a big computer from the 1980's. I'm moving....should I keep it?

btw I've been checking out Ebay, and I'm not seeing any commodore crap for more than about 20 bucks.

Answer 1

Use it as a door-stop while moving. If you have a second door, I'll give you a VIC-20.

Answer 2

I'm 36 and do indeed remember the Commodore 64.
Yes, keep it.
Display it in some way in your home office or hang it on the wall. Great conversation starter.

Answer 3

Sure! Someday it will be a collector's item. I had three in my attic at the old house, and we never got around to bringing them along when we moved. I'm really sorry now! Check out all the comodore stuff on E-Bay. You'd be amazed at the priced some of that stuff's getting!

Answer 4

I would say keep it,just for nostalgia sake.I kept my original pong game,and converter a floor model TV into a fish tank,and yes I'm a pack-rat.

Sorry, the museums already have enough. It breaks my heart, but I've already scrapped machines much newer than that.

Answer 7

only if you're starting a computer museum. But then again I have a TRS 80 color computer in my attic.

Answer 8

Absolutely!!! Keep it!!!

If you need to get rid of it then don't throw it away. Give it to someone like me who collects old machines or put it on e-bay.

Answer 9

if still it works, yes, maybe some day you can sell it for good money

Answer 10

LOL! Chuck it. It's useless.
