2/20/07 Sales of Note

Sales of note for February 20th, 2007:



I haven't updated the Price Guide as much as I used to lately. Of course, there's the ever present lack of time to get it done. The other thing, though, is that many of the prices have held fairly steady. What I would like to do is get back to going through the old mags and adding stuff from the reviews and advertisements. That's always fun and it makes the list big and fat. :)



Anyhow, the Price Guide HAS been updated and can be found here:

eBay: TRS-80 Color computer 2 bundle (item 260086183953 end time Feb-18-07 19:49:48 PST)



This very nice and complete bundle, which Brian mentioned a few days ago, went for the very nice price of US$76.00. Definitely a highly usable 64K CoCo 2 set up with all the fixin's. Seller even through in a bonus disks and tapes.



eBay: Color Mouse for the Tandy 1000 Color Computer (item 290082582659 end time Feb-18-07 14:58:00 PST)



Holy crap! This loose Color Mouse went for $US $14.59. That's a bit above the recorded average of $1.00. :) However, these guys are getting slightly rarer and there has been some interest in it lately. No adjustments yet, but we'll keep an eye on it.



eBay: Lot 128k Tandy- Disk Drive FD-500 GAMES Books MORE! (item 230090620549 end time Feb-17-07 12:38:14 PST)



Awesome lot of original disk AND an FD-500. I almost cried when I didn't get to bid on these. heh! I couldn't guess at the price per item, but have noted some of the software as spotted in the Price Guide. Some of it I couldn't verify as actually being CoCo software ("Revenge of the Germs? Airwolf?") so I didn't include those.



eBay: Tandy CoCo3 512K Memory Expansion Board!!! (item 200077777041 end time Feb-15-07 19:31:51 PST)



The rare Performance Peripherals 512K memory upgrade for the CoCo 3 sold for US$33.25. Looks like a very interesting piece since it's design it a bit different from the Tandy and some other 512K upgrades. This one is square (no cutouts to get around the RF shield, so it must be pretty small... or stick off to the left or something. Neat sale!



eBay: TANDY'S COLOR COMPUTER TRS-80 3 SERVICE MANUAL (item 300078963541 end time Feb-13-07 22:38:17 PST)



A CoCo 3 Service Manual that went for US$21.51. There's been a steady rise in the bids on these.



eBay: Tandy Coco 3 New in Box (item 110088876959 end time Feb-12-07 14:05:30 PST)



A complete, still in the wrapper, American-built version of the CoCo 3. Very sweat, sold for US$67.53.



eBay: Speech/Sound Cartridge for the Color Computer (item 260082018543 end time Feb-06-07 19:35:30 PST)



Wonder if this one is going back up? Could be. Sold for US$42.00.



eBay: Lot of 16 TRS-80 Tandy Color Computer Games in CASE NR (item 120081594469 end time Feb-06-07 18:44:40 PST)



This big lot of paks with the rare Pak-File case sold for US$42.76. Always wanted a Pak-File, but just because it's big and clunky and so very 80s. :)





General Stuff



Most systems are coming down in price over the last two months, with both CoCo 2 and CoCo 3 systems selling slightly below average. Expect an adjustment in the Price Guide soon. Some great Color Computer stuff coming up lately, though! And plenty of good stuff to come I suspect. :)



Angel's Luck,

Capt.
