I have a couple dozen C64s, a couple dozen 1541s, a half dozen or so monitors, a half dozen or so printers and a bunch of accessories - adapters, carts, tape decks etc. I also have a few power supplies and cables, but not enough for one for each machine. And a bunch of other stuff - discs, manuals, a couple of boxes, you name it. I'm not really sure what all I have, but I've had it for far too long and it's time to sell them. My question is, what's the optimum way to go about it?
In a perfect world, where I had unlimited time and resources, I'd test everything and repair where necessary. But that's never going to happen. Another option is to get one complete working system together, then rotate components into it and do minimal testing. Like, can a C64 power on, display an image and access a floppy? The final option is to just sell them untested.
I've done some looking around on ebay, but the C64 listings are a mess and it's really not clear to me how much value testing actually adds.
So, given that there are surely members here who have their fingers much more on the pulse of current C64 matters than I do, what would you suggest?
