Perhaps, but the fact that they were cheap when they were on the market means
that they were not intended to be "rare" and they probably won't be for some
time.
There are lots of definitions of "valuable" but I think the most widely
accepted one ties "value" to what you can get for it on the open market.
C64's are common in the crusher bin behind the thrift stores, so they probably
crush more than they sell, even at the $5 price. In fact, Commodore disk
drives often sell for more than Commodore computers do. I've never owned or
even wanted one, but I find that odd.
