Just saw an ad in the Boston Globe today for C-64's on sale at $149.88
(after Commodore's $100 rebate).  That's right, no typo, $149.88!!
The store was a small outfit in Arlington, Mass. by the name of Video
Horizons.

I called to verify the ad.  They confirmed the price and gave me the
impression that Commodore would be dropping prices such that a normal
price for the C-64 would be about $250.  They (Video Horizons) had
managed to get an "advanced delivery" at the new price and were able
to offer them for sale while the rebate offer was still in effect.

They are also offering both the 1541 Disk Drive and the 1525 Dot
Matrix Printer for sale for $269.88.


Sigh........... After hanging on for months, I finally broke down two
weeks ago and got my C-64 for $299 after rebate.   Oh well......
