Commodore 64 (Commodore, 1982). Estimated units sold: 17 million; original price: $595; current market value: $10 to $300

There may be more Commodore 64 PCs tucked away in closets than any other single computer model--with 17 million units sold during its long lifetime, Commodore's mass-market machine has been called the best-selling single computer model of all time. And it still has legions of fans, as witness sites such as C64.com and C64.org. At any given moment, you can probably find a few up for bid on eBay at reasonable prices--in the original box, even.
