Awesome C128 CL Post

[Ed Salisbury]

Saw this today in my feed and had to share, since many of us see so many (bad) CL postings:

 

Have you been looking for that one last piece of 80's memoribilia to add

to your collection?

 

Well look no further.

 

For sale is a Commodore 128 in its original box... but wait, there is

more. If you're the next caller we're going to throw in the disk drive in

its original package for free. Yes Free!

 

Both the computer and the external disk drive bundled together make this a

great gift for computer geeks, 80's nostalgia collectors or people who

have heavy doors that need to be proped open.

 

Originally retailed at $500, all of this can be yours for two easy

payments of $75. HOWEVER, if you call right now, we'll cut those payments

in half. You get the Commodore 128 and the disk drive for one easy cash

payment of $75.

 

Don't delay, our operator is standing by to take your order and arrange a

time for you to come pick them up. Due to high caller demand, we are

placing a strict limit of one on your order.

 

Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Call now.

Totally hilarious! Guy has a great sense of humor.

That's a decent price if it's a 1571 drive with the C128. Could always try talking him down to $60 though.

Damn operators must be on a break. They aren't standing by at all.

And I could even pick it up... it's local! Probably long gone by now though.

Always fun to find a good post on craigslist. Mostly because it is so rare.

 

Sadly I live too far away

$75 seems a bit step to me, but the Ad is GREAT! I passed on a 128 with drive and games for $50 the other day. The price was about right, but my pockets were empty.
