4/14/07 Auctions of Note

Auctions of note for April 14th, 2007:



While things have been a tad slow in the Color Computer auctions of late, there's still been some nice items popping up.  And for anyone looking to grab some stuff to use on your "working" system, there's some great deals to be had lately as well!  Here's a couple that have caught my eye recently and why.



eBay: Vintage TRS-80 Color Computer 1 Silver case, system (item 260107940047 end time Apr-21-07 14:06:46 PDT)



Beautiful.  A classic gray as a complete system.  The seller mentions it still has the 4K RAM button on it, but considering the upgrades apparent, I wouldn't be surprised if it had more.  If you need more RAM, be sure to ask the seller to PRINT MEM the sucker before bidding.  (I just turned a BASIC command into a verb! ha!)  This is probably an early 26-3001 model.  Note that there's a small LED in the center that is a user add-on.  Also included is what appears to be the rare HJL keyboard.  Very sweet.  The drive is a 26-3022, the original CoCo drive, with matching controller and cable (misidentified as an FD-500 controller).  Drive and computer appear to come with the original boxes.  I suspect this will be a fun computer to explore and play with!



eBay: New Tandy Coco 3 512K memory card (item 280104637685 end time Apr-20-07 17:01:26 PDT)



Super rare, unused, Tandy 512L memory card!  Wow!  Good looking and well worth looking at, whether you slap it in your CoCo 3 or put it under glass and ogle it. :)



eBay: TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER 2 BY RADIO SHACK never out box (item 150111949986 end time Apr-19-07 19:00:00 PDT)



Brand spanking new CoCo 2.  Well, pretty darn close anyhow.  Since it only has the Color BASIC book, I'd assume it's that only.  Probably 16K.  Catalog number would be impossible to guess at, since many CoCo 2 models had that keyboard and RAM.  Judging from the manual cover, I'd suggest a mid to late model 16K Color BASIC.  Inquire if interested.



eBay: Tandy CoCo 3 Predator Game (item 300101842837 end time Apr-17-07 19:42:34 PDT)



From the photos, a complete and decent looking copy of the Predator pak for the CoCo 3.  Don't have this one myself, so I can't recommend it for game playing, but looks good if you need it for the collection.



Angel's Luck,

Capt.
