Commodore 64 Laptop Silent Auction
This is it! Your chance to own a piece of 1982’s finest technology, assuming you had lived in an alternate universe where Commodore had invented the laptop, SD Cards, and Ethernet!!! Act Now and place your bids to own not only this fine piece of retro-computer craftsmanship, but also do something good for the Child’s Play charity! How much will it go for? $2,000? $5,000?? One Zillion??? Who knows, but what I do know is if you don’t place a bid you’ll be kicking yourself in the butt for a long time to come!
To avoid the fees of online auctions, we are asking that interested parties submit their bids to me via email. The highest amount with 2 weeks wins (ends July 20th), at which time you will be given payment info.
Click here to submit a bid for the Commodore 64 Laptop revision 2. Bidding starts at $1000 US, and you will be informed of the current high bidder upon contacting us. Good luck!
BONUS: Bottom of the unit is signed by me, it includes the SD memory card, and I’ll even throw in a DVD of Possumus Woman.

From his last post Ben said: “The current plan is to have a “silent auction” where people send us their bids, and then the proceeds go to Child’s Play. We will start this auction on Monday July 6th after the holiday week. Bids should start at $1000 US.”

Actually seems like a pretty good cause. Wish I had more disposable income… I honestly love these C64 laptops. Wish he’d make more.

*sigh*
The comment didn’t include the (charity) part in the link… so to get to the right page (instead of those terrible horror movies) you’ll have to copy pasta the whole line.

Here’s the correct link to the Charity:
http://www.childsplaycharity.org/
From the Child’s Play site:
“Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child’s Play, a community based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. Over 3.5 million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children’s hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception.
When gamers give back, it makes a difference!”
