Hi,
I have 2 Brand New Vic 20s for sale. Please read all, below are important information.
I am collecting Commodore stuff for 2 years, and always wanna buy Brand New ones. I am not sure if I can call them as Brand New, maybe they are “was brand new”. Here are the stories of them.
1 ) PAL , Believed to be never used and the keyboard has been changed by myself :
I bought this 1.5 years ago. It was being sold as “believed to be never used” from a trusted seller at UK from ebay. He had lots of positive feedbacks so I trusted him and when I received the Vic 20, I also believed that it is brand new. Unfortunately, while unpacking it, it felt from my hands and 3 keys & 2 of the upper case plastic stripes had been broken. Till that time, I looked for a real brand new spare keyboard. I bought more than 2 from here and else but none satisfied me. Then I bought another brand new Vic 20 from a US seller, only to get the keyboard and changed the keyboard by myself. So that means I opened it up
Anyway, after changing it, I am totally satisfied but I lost my interest and decided to sell it. As always being said “ it is not to own it, it is to hunt it”.
I turned it on, checked the functionality of all and everything seems perfect. Working %100. Besides the console, everything is brand new as seen from pics. While buying a spare keyboard from here, the seller also sent me a cartridge as a present but I couldn’t try it. Only the RF cable is not working properly, seen on pics. Pics talk more
It is really a very good collectors item.
I am asking GBP 169 + shipping + paypal fees. For the shipping, for almost everywhere in Europe, I think it will cost around GBP 75. What we can do is, because it is very hard to go to the post office everytime to get a shipping quote and it is really hard to tell the price without going there in person, buyer can pay GBP 75 for the shipping and if shipping costs more than that, I can inform and ask what to do; if it costs less than GBP 75, I will refund the difference immediately.
PRICE DROP to GBP 169
2) NTSC, said to be never used, keyboard changed by me with a broken one :
I bought this 2 months ago from a trusted seller at USA from ebay. The seller was the original owner, and declared this as “never used”, and confirmed that”....I really do not remember if I had used it, but if I had used it, I am sure it is not more than 10 hours. It only sat on my table for a month at most...”
So I trusted him and bought it. It also seemed to be never used. But when I opend it up to change the keyboard, I saw that, seen on pics, the plastic parts at the back had been broken. Because of that, the upper case does not sit %100 to the lower case. I did not break it, but also I couldn’t find the broken parts inside. In my opinon, it should have been opened before me. I changed the keyboard with a broken brand new one. The keyboard on this has 3 broken keys. If I don’t remember wrong, keys 6 – 7 – 9 had been broken. I glued them all, but unglued the key 9 again to show. The serial number on the box is exactly same as the Vic. It does have the original sales receipt. I do not have any suitable PSU for that, the original one is 110V and I couldn’t try it’s working condition. Everything seems perfect but I can not guarantee it’s working condition. If I had not lost my interest to Vics, I would have kept it. But I lost my interest. This is an excellent collector’s item.
I am asking GBP 99 + shipping + paypal fees. For the shipping, for almost everywhere in Europe, I think it will cost around GBP 55. What we can do is, because it is very hard to go to the post office everytime to get a shipping quote and it is really hard to tell the price without going there in person, buyer can pay GBP 55 for the shipping and if shipping costs more than that, I can inform and ask what to do; if it costs less than GBP 55, I will refund the difference immediately.
PRICE DROP to GBP 45
*Both are selling elsewhere also.
