The PET (with monitor) started a $795. The C64 was initially released at $595, which is pretty much the same considering that didn't include a monitor. But I would assume most of C64s were sold at a much lower price. I don't know its pricing history but I seem to recall the price dropped pretty quickly. My (very imperfect) memory says I got one in the early '80s about $399 and I think it was down to $299 not too long after that.
