Sales of note as of December 27th, 2006:
In general, CoCo 2s continue to sell well when in mostly complete condition and with a couple of extras. Required to sell are the manuals. Memory size doesn't seem to be a concern, nor does Color BASIC or Extended Color BASIC. This probably indicates that folks are buying them to play paks. Game paks, though somewhat scarce lately, when priced right, seem to sell just about every time.
eBay: Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer 2 In Original Box (16K) (item 280062737706 end time Dec-27-06 12:33:43 PST)
A nice early model CoCo 2 (26-3026 if I had to guess), rare because it's 16K and Color BASIC only. No manuals, or other extras and still sold for $32.31. Those CB machines only don't come up very often. But if you want a CoCo that will a) challenge you, or b) play some of those groovy retro-paks, it certainly does the job. Sellers don't list the catalog numbers often enough to be sure, but from a collectors standpoint, these may be getting exceedingly rare. Price guide adjust up a bit.
eBay: Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer 2 In Original Box (64K) (item 280062735919 end time Dec-27-06 12:26:59 PST)
Another CoCo 2, this one at 62K with Extended Color BASIC. This one appears to be complete. Both of these units were purchased by the same buyer. No cat. no. listed, but it sold for US$26.00, which is roughly in line with previous sales in this condition (except a Fine 26-3127B).
eBay: RAINBOW CO CO MONTHLY "1985 " - " PROGRAMS ON TAPE " (item 300061562134 end time Dec-24-06 00:32:49 PST)
Nice lot of the full run of The Rainbow on Tape from 1985. Surprisingly went for a mere $12.99. There were other auction running at the time that may have pulled bids away from this lot, though. Regardless, the Price Guide has been adjusted accordingly. I also added listings through July of 1997. Haven't spotted the tape edition beyond that point and don't no exactly when Falsoft stop doing the tapes.
Price Guide notes:
Adjusted the MC-10 16K Expansion Module down
a bit after a large lot sold and several mint singles and doubles
didn't sell at all. The MC-10 goes through cycles and it, and it's
accessories, may be a bit too common at the moment for collectors.
Made an adjustment to the Orchestra 90-CC pak in Fine condition after several sold for way below what was listed in the Price Guide. This pak also appeared in two different packages, one with red graphics and one with blue graphics. Not noted in the Price Guide at the moment as such, but will if appears to become a factor.
eBay: Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer 2 + Books - Nice! NR! (item 120065525870 end time Dec-22-06 10:35:48 PST)
Another pretty much complete CoCo 2, and ECB machine judging from the manuals included. No indication what memory configuration. Earlier model, probably 26-3026 or 26-3027, with the low-profile keyboard. Sold for US$28.50.
eBay: TSR-80 Computer Color Basic Extend Book Cassette Manual (item 120065302441 end time Dec-21-06 20:00:27 PST)
And another one, with fine looking manuals, and again no certain identification. Did have the ECB manual, so we'll assume that. Assuming these are 64K machines, they would be right in line with Price Guide pricing. If they're 16K machines, then an adjustment would be needed. The price for Fine 16K machines were adjusted upward slightly to reflect this, but not much without a "for certain" identification.
eBay: King's Quest III by Sierra To Heir is Human (item 260065566579 end time Dec-21-06 19:58:17 PST)
KK3 for the 512K CC3 in Very Good condition. Slight adjustment up in that price, but only because it's not seen too often. Sold for $5.00 which is about normal.
eBay: Color Computer Artist (item 260065551612 end time Dec-21-06 19:18:28 PST)
Disk version of Color Computer Artist for the CoCo 3. This one was written by Steve Bjork and is actually a nifty drawing program for the CoCo 3. It's not great, but it certainly does the job. (Although it won't make you give up CoCo Max or Color Max 3... heh!) Sold for US$5.00. Fairly rare, but not wanted at the moment.
eBay: Color computer (coco 3) vintage game (item 260065542287 end time Dec-21-06 18:44:03 PST)
Another one that was way more fun than I thought it would be. Graphics won't set the world on fire, but it plays nice. Sold for US$5.00, which is higher than the Fine price for this one previously.
eBay: Tandy Radio Shack Coco Color Computer Roller Ball (item 320062831791 end time Dec-20-06 20:22:32 PST)
Pretty surprised I was able to score this guy for a mere US$10.00. Never seen one on sale before. Seller also threw in a couple of games on disk, but I haven't received the package as of this writing, so won't list them in the Price Guide until I do. The Wico Roller Ball was added.
eBay: Chromasette Tape Coco Tandy Color Computer (item 320062826692 end time Dec-20-06 19:51:21 PST)
Here's another one where I think buyers were "Engaged Elsewhere" when this one came up. I know my bid was certainly curtailed due to other commitments. This is a nice big lot of Chromosette cassettes, most with the original shipping envelopes and everything! The winner got a steal and a great collectible. I wouldn't trust the price listed at this point. :)
eBay: Rainbow Tape Coco Color Computer Falsoft (item 320062824661 end time Dec-20-06 19:39:34 PST)
Another steal! 51 copies of The Rainbow on Tape, many also with their original mailers. Heck of deal. The lot sold for US$23.00. Wow.
eBay: RAINBOW COLOR COMPUTER MONTHLY " PROGRAMS ON TAPE " (item 300060323706 end time Dec-19-06 19:25:30 PST)
And another lot, from 1984, that went for $12.99.
eBay: 2 TRS-80 MINI DISK PLAYERS,1 REMEX COLOR CONTROLOR W/CA (item 130059265993 end time Dec-18-06 14:45:55 PST)
A selection of drives for the CoCo with 26-3022 controller. Included something called the REMAX Mini Disk Player. Standard 5 1/4"? An odd drive? Don't know. The lot sold for $87.00, though!
eBay: CoCoMax for Color Computer *NR* (item 220060029694 end time Dec-17-06 18:55:12 PST)
The original CoCo Max with original binder and manuals. I scored this one for $19.29 with moderate bidding. Only the second time I've recorded this one for sale. Last year this one with just the disk went for $11.00, so I figured it would go higher.
eBay: Revelation! by R. Offermann for Color Computer *NR* (item 220060024410 end time Dec-17-06 18:41:53 PST)
I'll have more details on this one when it arrives, but this rarity went for $67.66. Can't wait to try it. It's an OS upgrade of some sort, but I'll post the info to the message board when I get it.
eBay: Graphicom Disk Utility for Color Computer *NR* (item 220060020682 end time Dec-17-06 18:31:55 PST)
Here's the rare Graphicom Disk Utility package, with it's original zip lock package and manual. Again, I managed to win this one, and will give a full report in the message board when it arrives. Sold for $32.50.
eBay: Tandy TRS-80 color computer w/cassette recorder joystix (item 190061601363 end time Dec-17-06 15:41:34 PST)
A nice early model CoCo 1 with cassette and a few other goodies. No ID information, unfortunately. But it sold for an outstanding US$63.22!
eBay: tandy floppy disk controller with interfase vintage (item 170060795375 end time Dec-12-06 19:26:09 PST)
An FD-500 at the bargain basement price of US $8.99. If it runs, it's a heck of a good deal!
The CoCo 3 sales of late are running right in line with Price Guide pricing, so no adjustments there. Over all, a general lowering in prices, but definitely more sales, particularly of "standard" CoCo items. Let's hope this means more CoCoist out there, enjoying our awesome machine, and joining in the fun!
