Since C= was liquidated, I believe there is no more ownership of anything by the stockholders. Everything was handed over to the creditors due to the inability to pay the debts. The only value of the stock certificats, is as collectors items. There is no more company for which those certificates hold ownership. Somewhere there may be a C= shell. However the stockholders no longer have any claim to that shell. Even as a shell C= is basically worthless, as ESCOM appears to have bought the rights to use the name and trademarks associated with the company. Therefore, even if you bought what was left of Commodore, as a company, from the liquidators you couldn't sell anything most places as a Commodore piece of merchandise, as ESCOM holds the rights. Think of it as having the registration to a vehicle. The loan fell behind, and the vehicle was repossessed by the bank. The vehicle is then auctioned off to the high bidder. You might still have a registration slip to the car, but the title has been sold to somebody else, and they are now driving the car. If anybody is interested, I have 16,000 shares fo Datawave, an 80's penny stock failure, that I might trade for some Commodore stock.
