Hi all, just found the forum.

Just found the forums after a nostalgic search for the computers of my youth (Pet 4032).  I learned Basic on a PET in middleschool, and had the obligatory C64 and C128 that I spent way to much time on back in the 80's...  Good times..

My current rescue collection consists of 2 SGI indigo2's, Sun - Sparc 4, Sparc 5, Ultra 1, and Ultra 10.  I think I have an A500 in storage... Had to downsize the collection a couple of years ago and sold some items.

Just curious if anyone has a PET for sale, and also how much they go for these days?  I'm sure the price varies based on rarity, so I'm just looking for a vanilla machine.  4032, 8032 type.

Thanks for the forum, its good to know there are other folks out there like myself!

Welcome :)  Just a few weeks ago there were plenty of PETs sold in Toronto, not terribly far away from you, at the 2007 World of Commodore.  gklinger or someone else from the Toronto area could probably set you up with a deal, if you can't find anyone closer.

Thanks for the info!  I noticed that this forum doesn't have PM capability, so I will drop a line in his recent thread.

Hello. I usually check in daily but I've been in upgrade hell for the last few days. Anyway, I don't have any PETs for sale currently but I'll ask around. I'm fairly certain I can scare one up for you although it might have to wait until after Christmas as people are a little busy right now. Shouldn't be too expensive for a 4032.
