Where can I buy a real C64 with a joystick and a few games?

Our experience tells that there are rather plenty of Commodore 64’s available at on-line auctions such as eBay, and many of them are in perfectly usable condition. When you buy a C64 computer, pay attention to where you buy it from. In the US they use the NTSC standard whereas European C64s use the PAL standard and Asian ones have the SECAM standard. This means that software bought from one continent may not work in a computer bought in another. This should not be a problem when you buy things from your own or neighbouring countries. Make sure you have a floppy drive if you want to run software on floppies and a tape drive (a.k.a. datassette) for software on tapes.
