12/10/06 Auctions of Note

Auctions of note for December 10th, 2006:



eBay: Radio Shack TRS 80 Color Computer Game Sesame Street! (item 320060854589 end time Dec-17-06 19:07:00 PST)



Complete and in the package Big Bird's Special Delivery cassette for the CoCo. Edutainment titles tend to be more common in near mint condition, but they won't be there forever.



eBay: CoCoMax for Color Computer *NR* (item 220060029694 end time Dec-17-06 18:55:12 PST)



Sharkonwheels returns with some great items to put under your tree! :) Up first we have a complete, original edition of CoCo Max from Colorware. Talk about the good stuff. :)



eBay: Revelation! by R. Offermann for Color Computer *NR* (item 220060024410 end time Dec-17-06 18:41:53 PST)



I know several collectors have been waiting for this one, so jump in there and get swinging. heh! This is an "OS" upgrade for the CoCo. Shark was kind enough to send out a scan of the manual some time ago, and honestly I still couldn't tell you exactly what it does. :) But they don't get much rarer than this!



eBay: Graphicom Disk Utility for Color Computer *NR* (item 220060020682 end time Dec-17-06 18:31:55 PST)



A real rarity. Not only is this graphics edit super rare, it's in complete condition, right down to the original zip lock baggie. This one could get messy. :)



eBay: Rainbow Magazine (item 260063971786 end time Dec-17-06 17:48:53 PST)



Here's an interesting idea. This seller has most of the Rainbows for sale and is offering them up for US$1.00 a piece. Might be a good way to fill in that collection a bit!



eBay: Tandy TRS-80 color computer w/cassette recorder joystix (item 190061601363 end time Dec-17-06 15:41:34 PST)



Judging from the pictures only, of course, this is a damn fine looking CoCo. Most of this vintage are pretty worn. Inquire for more details, but if you need a displayable early model CoCo (with the black keyboard lip), this might be worth a look.



eBay: Vintage 1984 Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 2 (item 130058003173 end time Dec-15-06 13:23:17 PST)



Pretty nice (Good to Very Good perhaps) Color BASIC CoCo 2 in the box. I'm guess CB only because of the included manual (ie, no ECB manual). Inquire to be sure, of course. These CB only machines, while not necessarily collectible right now, are getting rarer.



eBay: TRS-80 Color Computer 2 16K/Extended Basic/Extras COCO (item 110066707102 end time Dec-16-06 16:48:54 PST)



Wanted to include this one, not because it's necessarily collectible (looks like it would need some restoration), but because it's a good "playing with" CoCo at 16K. Even includes a disk controller (just add drives). This and a couple of 5 1/4" would make a fun machine to mess with, just to see what you could get it to do with the forced limitations. :)



eBay: TRS-80 Micro Color Computer MC-10 (item 330060719051 end time Dec-16-06 11:44:39 PST)



Not a bad looking 10er. Not mint, but quite possible near.



eBay: TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER- RADIO SHACK-3 PROGRAM GAME PAKS (item 300058773163 end time Dec-15-06 19:52:42 PST)



A super looking collection of in the box paks, including Polaris, Project Nebula and Handyman. Usually don't see opened paks looking this good (these would have originally been shrink wrapped).



eBay: HOT CoCo The magazine for TRS80 color Computer (item 260064019450 end time Dec-17-06 20:09:56 PST)



Several issues of the super rare Hot CoCo magazine. The "other" magazines (not The Rainbow) are getting fewer and far between lately. Hmmm...



A quick price guide note: Got an email about when I was going to update the silly thing. :) Well, honestly there hasn't been much need. I'm logging the data, of course, but things are pretty much where they should be. I probably do need to compile what I've got and revise and add a few entries. My plan is to do that sometime in mid-January. Tune in and stay tuned!



Angel's Luck,

Capt.

Hi Fellow Coconuts,

I would surely love to get my hands on the Dr Offerman program Revelations, By what I have read.It added enhanced features to the graphics commands and sound features, pretty similiar to Graf Express, But more in tune for novice coco programmers. But it could still be used for advanced basic programmers, As it improved the way Commands were used.

Now see, that sounds pretty good. Sounds like something I could use. I have grafExpress, but haven't had any opportunity yet to play with it. (Don't even know if the disks fire.) But from reading the manual, looks like it'll be some work. Fun and definitely useful, but it'll take some study and whacking away at it.

On the outside chance I should actually win it, I'll see about getting a copy to ya. :) And anyone considering bidding on Revelations ... well, all I can say is, ya better bring it. Cause it's on now, baby! :D

Angel's Luck,
Capt.
