|  Re: commodore 232 in Holland
Not much story - I had a page saying I search the C232 on my Homepage. Someone in Germany died and the sons of him contacted me over my Homepage and asked me to make an offer. I made a small offer and he said it is OK so he sent it - along with VC20 and stuff - to me.
He said his father always collected commodores a bit on flea market but they did not exactly know where he got the C232 from. With it there was a C128 PSU modded to use with C232 (other cable, some strange external plugs maybe for peripherals). So I guess he used it a lot, despite it looks like new. Strange is most of the VIC20 are NTSC (Germany normally is PAL).
So all in all: a bit of luck and also Show the Passion for what you love to do. It (sometimes) pays off.
