It was in perfect condition, a classic worth a fair bit like that...and all the games. I was really really annoyed.
I feel your pain. I had a couple of C64's, disk drives, as well as a complete 128D including monitor, an Amstrad CPC-664, an Atari 2600 and a Sega Megadrive.

Moved out back in about 2000-ish, left them in my wardrobe which stayed at my parents place (place I was renting had built ins, so took the clothes & left the wardrobe there with a heap of my stuff in it).

Few months later I called to tell them I was coming by to pick up all my old computer stuff, it had all mysteriously disappeared.... I was NOT happy at all. I THINK an old Apple Mac Plus that I got when my high school sold them out for $15 each still exists here somewhere.

These days though I've got emulators for pretty much every old system (including DOSBox to play the old PC games that won't run properly under newer OS's) - but its still just not quite the same.
