I'm shocked, that a perfectly good SX would go for such a cheap price!! Actually, more than shocked!
When you consider that a normal C64 sells for $5-10, the prices that SX-64s get are actually pretty high. They are still 20-year-old 8-bit computers with little practical value. (I do agree that they are super fun though. :) )
A C64 and 1541 cost well over a thousand dollars in 1982 (I paid $800 in 1984) and now sell for about ten bucks. That might put things into context.
