Broken systems sell for $300- on eBay because there is a racket for them. People buy 80 of them for spare parts and then salvage the broken units to build fixed units that sell for more.
I saw a complete C64 1541 Monitor Datasette and 100 titles on sale at Amazon for $2000 before.
The VICE emulator can emulate any 8 bit Commodore computer as long as you got a copy of the ROMs on file. But most people want the original hardware which is why it sells for $300+ broken.
The Mini64 and The C64 outsold themselves and are modern versions of the C64. A friend of mine who works at Sam's Club said they only lasted one day on the floor and sold out like the Action Replay video game consoles did.
