    When i was younger my mum brought me one of these from a car boot sale and i loved it.
    I used to play games on it alot but i used it mainly for programming as i had a collection of magazine's called Input filled with all type's of programmes.
    so for hours i would site there typing in line's of code just for the computer to make a draw a image of a house or do square root lol or just instantly fill the screen with what ever texted i typed in lol.
    not sure what happened to it as i grew up changing from that to a commadore 64 and then the amiga,master system,mega drive etc.I'm gonna have a look and see how much they sell for now.

    I still have in my garage, would love to get it out one day. But getting through the clutter is a weeks worth job.

    I think I used to have one of them, they do look strangely familiar, may have been my older brothers!

    I am sure you could pick one up cheap enough.

    I dunno they do go for a pretty penny, I suppose its a matter of looking in the right areas to grab a bargain! 5 o'clock wake up to go to a boot sale anyone? hehe

    Interesting to note one poster saying that the Plus/4 costs plenty (even if it was posted months ago now). I dunno if that's the case nowadays but when I got mine 3 or 4 years ago it cost me a tenner on eBay.

    I'm glad I did my computer collecting then ... even a few years ago it just seemed to be people dragging these things out of their loft, by and large without any kind of notion that they were really worth anything. Since then it seems as though retail types have muscled in on the scene and driven the prices ever upwards.

    Very true indeed, you can't get the bargains you used to on eBay and you see a lot more shops than you used to.

    I have never really liked any Commodore machine and one reason is because they are all so damn ugly but it has to be said that the Plus 4 looks incredibly cool, almost makes me want one  8)

    i seem to remember this computer had a bit of 'business' aura around it - don't remember anyone I know owning one - a few had c16s.

    Funny you say that as before I was helping to update the sections on the site last night I never realised that it it contained 4 business applications in the rom, hence the Plus 4 name  :o
