|  Re: Commodore 16 price at 1986
I believe Comet acquired the very last remaining stock of the Plus/4 Plus Pack and advertised it aggressively during the run up to Xmas 1985. From middle December 1985, Comet reduced the price to £79.99 and all stock was depleted. In Jan 86 I was pleased to find out some school mates also received one for Xmas. We used to run Icicle Works competitions after school. Forward wind to the end of the year and the C64c Connoisseur's Collection was being sold by Toys 'r' us for a bargain price (£149?). I made the upgrade but made it a priority to reacquire a plus/4 20 years later.
