"I will include a Datasette with it for free."

Didn't the VIC-20 always come standard with the Datasette?
As far as I recall, it was never some optional extra.

Never heard of a VIC always coming with a Datasette here in the USA.

My first VIC-20 came with the VIC, RF switch, Power Supply and manual,
and cost almost 300.00. I played with it that first night...the next
day I went back to the store and bought the 80.00 Datasette. (USD)
Now, you cannot hardly give away either!

Actually, the VIC I have for sale is moving right on up in price.
They are much more rare than a 64 and have a very dedicated following
(just go visit the Denial forum).
