If there is anyone here who would be interested in adding a c-128 to their system, please go to the CBMCOM SIG. I have left a message there putting my system up for sale in order to upgrade to an Amiga. Len Lekx

Im NOT sure whether you are willing to take a beating on your system BUT I have seen ad's for a $99 Amiga w/a trade in of your 128/1571/1702 While I agree you could "probably" get better prices it may take time and effort/expense.(IE returned cod's etc..) On the other hand theres nothing wrong with a little clutter on the desktop(s) from your Vic 20/C64/C128/Amiga systems et al! Ena

I haven't seen ads like that. Could you tell me where you've seen them. The only ads I've seen are for trade ups in the area of a $300 discount on an A1000 with the trade-in of a c-128. If I could trade my entire system and get an Amiga for just $99, I would be overjoyed. What would I get for that, and where is it??? Len Lekx [73300,723]

I ran across it when attempting to find the cheapest route to go re: the amiga 500. MAYBE I should have stated that its for an Amiga 500 The problem I had was it didnt accept the U.G. Software upgrade! (There are PLENTY of dealers who are on the official Commodore list who wont accept/honour them!) I will look again & get the pertinant info. Later Ill post it here for you. Ena

Len; My husband pointed out that we looked thru some 25-30 magazines for mail order companies & that it would be next to impossible to duplicate that volume of pages Fortunately he reminded me that anything that even remotely looked promising we wrote down. SO while I downloaded the virus prg. he dug out the book. Here are what my notes say: Brand New Amiga 599 for $99 w/working 128 trade in. The name of the place is Computer Repeats,Inc Somewhere in Colorado 303-939-8144 Voice 303-939-8174 Modem The C128 system requires a 1571 & a 1702 (the cheaper really c64 monitor) It doesn't state whether you pay less for the AMiga if you have a 1902. They sell used equipt. as well as new. Some used prices I have written down are $109 for the 64 $119 for the 1541 $172 for the 1571 Even $39 for a Vic-20 Ena Also it doesn't say whats in the 500 (in my notes) Maybe you can find another ad from them
