All items with bids greater than or equal to the suggested bid will be sold then, and other items which have bids lower than the suggested bid may be sold at my discretion. I have been going through all my Commodore stuff that I have collected and have compiled this list of items for sale. The format will be a public auction. Send all bids to me in electronic mail to hermit@bayview.com. I will try to set up a WWW interface to submit bids and check on the current highest bid, but for now stick to e-mail. I will post progress reports approximately every week to report the current bidding status. RULES OF THE AUCTION - SUGGESTED BID IS *NOT* A MINIMUM BID; I will accept the highest bid over that amount, or if all bids are below it, I *may* choose to accept the highest bid. If you think my prices are too high; bid anyway, and you might just get it after all. However there is a MINIMUM PURCHASE OF $10, just to make it worth my time to package and mail. - Bidding runs UNTIL ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD, OR AUGUST 1ST, 1996, whichever is soonest. I may elect to extend the bidding period, add or remove items available, and/or change suggested bids after that date. - YOU WILL PAY ALL SHIPPING COSTS. Shipping cost depends on method of shipment, weight of what you buy, and your location. If you live in or near the San Francisco or Monterey bay areas in California (I live in Santa Cruz), we may be able to meet in person to transfer the goods. Send me email if you have any questions about shipping. - Unless otherwise indicated, all equipment has been tested and is in GOOD WORKING ORDER. Exceptions to this are noted in parentheses. The 1571 and 1541's have all been aligned by me, but understand that shipping could misalign them, so check them when you receive them. If you don't know how, ask me. - Except for problems noted in parentheses below, all items have a THIRTY DAY WARRANTY. If anything does not work to your satisfaction for ANY REASON within 30 days of your receipt of the item(s), send it back to me for a FULL REFUND. *NOTE* Refunds will NOT be given on shipping costs in either direction! ############################## HARDWARE ################################ COMPUTERS SuggBid Qty Mfr Model Description ------- --- --- ----- ----------- $25.00 1 CBM 64 Commodore 64 w/ P/S (keyboard needs cleaning) BID:$22.00Mike Whipp (7/29/96 17:51 PDT) $35.00 1 CBM 128 Commodore 128 w/ P/S (F3 & F5 missing) $40.00 1 CBM 128 Commodore 128 w/ P/S BID:$70.00BiNjiNX (7/29/96 21:52 PDT) (for both 128's) $15.00 1 CBM Plus/4 Commodore Plus/4 Computer in box, with manuals and P/S BID:$15.00Rich White (7/16/96 15:38 PDT) [OUT] BID:$15.00Brian Seeley (7/16/96 16:01 PDT) BID:$10.00Tim Grooms (7/17/96 15:07 PDT) [OUT] BID:$20.00Brian Seeley (7/24/96 16:52 PDT) BID:$25.00Dan Amborn (7/26/96 17:38 PDT) BID:$30.00Brian Seeley (7/26/96 19:54 PDT) BID:$35.00Dan Amborn (7/29/96 18:15 PDT) BID:$40.00Brian Seeley (7/30/96 16:20 PDT) $20.00 1 CBM 8032 80 col, 32k CBM/PET computer (E key missing) BID:$10.00Joseph Keane (7/16/96) FLOPPY DISK DRIVES SuggBid Qty Mfr Model Description ------- --- --- ----- ----------- $30.00 4 CBM 1541 Single Drive Floppy Disk 5.25" BID:$10.00Rich White (7/30/96) $40.00 1 CBM 1571 Double-sided 5.25" Floppy Disk Drive BID:$10.00Rich White (7/30/96) $20.00 1 FSD FSD-1 Mostly 1541-compatible disk drive $10.00 1 CBM 8040 Dual PET floppy disk drive, 512k each disk (one side broken) BID:$10.00Joseph Keane (7/16/96) $10.00 1 CBM 8240 Dual PET floppy disk drive, 1MB each disk (broken) $5.00 1 CBM IEEE-488 Cable, PET to drive BID:$5.00 Rich White (7/16/96 15:38 PDT) $3.00 1 CBM IEEE-488 Cable, drive to drive BID:$3.00 Rich White (7/16/96 15:38 PDT) $2.00 1 HP IEEE-488 Cable, drive to drive BID:$2.00 Rich White (7/16/96 15:38 PDT) PRINTERS SuggBid Qty Mfr Model Description ------- --- --- ----- ----------- $20.00 1 Oki 10 Okimate 10 thermal color printer with Black ribbon & Commodore "Plug 'N' Print" cartridge, in box $5.00 1 Oki 10 Okimate 10 thermal color printer, no ribbon or "Plug 'N' Print" cartridge $30.00 1 Seikosha SP180VC 9-pin Commodore-ready printer; good cond., nice NLQ mode $5.00 1 CBM MPS803 7-pin Commodore printer ######################### VIC-20 CARTRIDGES ############################ Commodore VIC-1xxx cartridges SuggBid Qty Model Name ------- --- ----- ---- $7.50 1 VIC-1211A Super Expander w/ 3K RAM BID:$2.00 Jonathan Taylor (7/26/96 15:52 PDT) BID:$6.50Fabrizio Farenga (7/29/96 11:53 PDT) $5.00 1 VIC-1212 Programmer's Aid Cartridge BID:$4.00Fabrizio Farenga (7/29/96 11:53 PDT) $2.50 1 VIC-1909 Road Race $2.50 1 VIC-1910 Radar Ratrace $2.50 1 VIC-1911 The Sky is Falling $2.50 1 VIC-1914 Adventure Land (Scott Adams) $2.50 1 VIC-1915 Pirate's Cove (Scott Adams) $2.50 1 VIC-1918 Voodoo Castle (Scott Adams) $2.50 1 VIC-1919 Sargon II Chess (w/ Manual) $2.50 1 VIC-1920 Pin Ball $2.50 1 VIC-1921 Super Smash $2.50 1 VIC-1922 Cosmic Cruncher $2.50 1 VIC-1923 Gorf $2.50 2 VIC-1924 Omega Race $2.50 1 VIC-1937 Sea Wolf $2.50 1 VIC-1938 Tooth Invaders $2.50 1 VIC-1941 Number Nabber / Shape Gobbler NOTE: I have the manual that covers all five Scott Adams games, but only three of the games.
