Here's a nice multipak 26-3024:

Rare TRS 80 Computer MULTI PAK INTERFACE Game System

This one would also need a PAL upgrade to work properly with the CoCo 3, but would work great with the 1 or 2. Nice to see these popping up more frequently. While this one isn't necessarily in collectiable condition, it would work nicely in a show or display machine. And of course, if you plan to use the CoCo, the MPI not exactly required equipment, but it sure makes life a lot easier. Hopefully they'll continue to be plentiful, but if you're in the market, I wouldn't wait. ;)

Here's a nice CoCo in collectible condition:

TANDY Radio Shack TRS 80 Color Computer Manuals Box

Probably would not take much, if any, fixing up. It's a mid-run 26-2002A. Not owning one of these yet, I couldn't say what board it is, but it comes up (identified, anyhow) infrequently enough to warrent a look. The box isn't so hot, but the machine looks quite nice and with the manuals included it's a good deal. According to the description, there's a bit of history with the CoCo on the part of her husband. Call me a sucker, but I'm always more happy to buy from fellow and former CoCo nuts. From the pictures, I would say, oh, Very Good to Fine overall.

Not a collectible item, but if you're in the market for a 3-er:

tandy color computer 3 and a manual

The price is right. :)

Mislisted...

TANDY COLOR MOUSE Tandy 1000 or Color Computer TRS-8

Watch the shipping and bid accordingly.

Rarity alert:

Tandy Color Computer Games (Lot of 6 different games)

Almost kept this one to myself, but then that wouldn't be in the spirit of things would it? :) Couple rare paks w/ manuals in this lot. Have a look.

Some mags:

trs 80 - 80 micro magazines lot (59)

If you absolutely must have hardcopies of these, here's a great way to start a collecting of them. Earlier issues have CoCo coverage and a CoCo column (starting near the end of '80, I think?). You can get a preview by downloading at Ira GoldKlang's site. Just be sure to drop him a few bucks in donation as a thank you for all the free stuff. :)

Angel's Luck,
Capt.
