Here is an auction for a rarity you don't see every day:

The Commodore Colt is nothing more than a XT clone based on the Intel 8088 or 8086. I know because I had to sell 1 or 2 of these CGA MS-DOS dogs when I worked for Commodore. Like most XTs it is most likely worthless. Most people are not interested in old PCs. Commodore should have never bothered making PCs and instead should have put all of their energy into selling Amigas back in the day.

It has never been on ebay because noone in their right mind would want one. The $100 buy it now is laughable.

Which is probably why you don't see them very often on ebay. A glorified doorstop! :laughing

I hope no poor souls buy this or worst yet do a Buy It Now.

Can you say

"The guy selling this is trying to make a quick buck!"

Actually isn't this what most people try to do on eBay anyways ;)

@Pyromania.
You worked for Commodore? Your brave,futile wisdom that the big C= "should've concentrated on the Amiga", no wonder you were flogging PC's in the saltmines.
Should've kept to the upper management wisdom of flogging cheapo PC's & neglecting Amiga R&D & marketing!
At least you might've had a greater chance of enjoying the corporate jet alongside Gould & co.!! :D
The Amiga was lucky to have such inspirational upper management!;)

I remember those things :) They were one of the worst Pc's available at the time. They were nearly as bad as the Amstrad clone that also could play sega saturn carts..
