    congratulations to the mystery buyer… To bad his bid was too high for me otherwise I would be the lucky winner of this silent auction. I hope this unique c64 laptop will get a good home.

    Wow. $6,000 bucks.

    I’ll just cross my fingers that someone REALLY liked this particular charity, and didn’t actually want the laptop that bad.

    You should just auction ALL your stuff Ben. I can’t imagine you sold the first one of these for six thousand dollars.

    That has to feel good - something you built with your hands fetched that high of a price and it benefited an awesome charity.

    Blown away by the price it fetched - that it went to a worthy cause is icing on the cake. You know what I’m thinking? SNES and Genesis laptops!
