Decided I don't need three C128's ... so the least used one is off.
Buyer can also have a 1084S and a 1541 to go with it.

Quite happy to ship over seas :-)

I would REALLY love to have the luggable version of the C128D, which was not sold here in the States. I thought it was a great-looking design, and a 'high concept' sort of product for Commodore.

Considering the US got the even heavier metal-cased machines, sticking a handle on one might have made it a "draggable". :P Though they could've put wheels on the other side and had a telescoping handle, presaging the rolling luggage that came along a few years later. :D

If we'd had this thing, we could have anticipated LAN parties by a decade and a half. :)

Well make a bid then!  Converting to NTSC can;t be that hard .. though why you'd want to convert to something that doesn't show the same colour twice I never understand ;-)

If Commodore had built it with wheels, they would have kept coming off in the middle of the airport like in that TV commercial.
