I'm thinking of selling my C-64, and possibly assorted ancillary
stuff (drive, modem, etc.)
The keyboard/cpu is the old brown model, and it has a homebrew
soft-reset switch. It's in pretty good shape.
I have *no* idea what I should ask for this, or even if I should sell
it, or hang on to it for whatever reason...
Any suggestions?

Anyone need a boat anchor? How about a door stop? Seriously, Annie, the C-64 by itself may be worth $60 - $75. Peripherals extra. Probably the best thing a computer like this is for is if you have children who want to play games with it. There was a lot of game software written for the C-64. Now, if you've got a Commodore Pet, with tape drive, that you want to unload, that's another matter. Don -- Donald E.

C-64's are in high demand in Eastern Europe these days. I saw an article
in either Businessweek or Fortune that Commodore's profits were largely
from the sale of the 64 to eastern europe. There's a large demand for
computers that are cheap and have lots of available software.
Off the subject you say? Depends how enterprising you are....
