CoCo Auctions and Sales of Note
for May 15th, 2007
eBay: RADIO SHACK TRS-80 COMPUTER CASSETTE RECORDER - CCR-81 (item 300110406762 end time May-17-07 17:51:50 PDT)
Let's start off with a ha ha. This is gorgeous CCR-81A, near mint and complete. This is the white version of the venerable CCR-81. Good deck and recommended if you can get one. I used an old CCR-81 almost daily for 10 years and, 20 years later, it's still running just fine (it's been retired for a shiny CCR-83). The 81A is the same device in a white plastic case, that matches the CoCo 2 and CoCo 3 nicely. This one, unfortunately, has a rather, um, optimistic asking price. :)
eBay: Vintage TRS-80 Color Computer 2 Radio Shack NIB (item 180116386640 end time May-18-07 18:49:30 PDT)
Listed as New In Box, but not! No manuals, plastic wrap, etc. Still, could be collectible CoCo 2, so worth a look. I'd inquire about the model, BASIC ROM and memory configuration.
eBay: TANDY RADIO SHACK TRS 80 COMPUTER ELECTRONIC BOOK RARE (item 180116402162 end time May-18-07 19:37:04 PDT)
This is rare enough to warrant a look, though I think there was originally software with it. Afraid I just don't know much about this one.
eBay: RADIO SHACK TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER WITH RECORDER,GAMES (item 110127319283 end time May-19-07 18:21:28 PDT)
I can not believe they put that poor CoCo down on the cement. Sheesh! From the photos a decent looking original model. These are getting rarer.
eBay: TANDY TRS-80~ONE-ON-ONE~VIDEO GAME~J.ERVING vs L.BIRD (item 170111580017 end time May-19-07 21:38:12 PDT)
Rare enough for a look. This is a Steve Bjork game if I remember correcly. It's also wicked fun. Way more fun than I thought it would be. The computer opponents actually have personality and very different playing styles. And are pretty challenging to boot! Plus you get that great manual with Bird and Erving on the cover. :)
eBay: TANDY TRS-80 CHILDRENS TELEVISION WORKSHOP VIDEO GAMES (item 170111582217 end time May-19-07 22:03:04 PDT)
Another one for the CoCo 1 that's rare enough to list as notable. I wish I knew the whole story behind these. I have a huge set of these that I've never fired up or messed with. This is one of several Tandy produced for the education and home education markets. Some of these programs were marketed separately on cassette, as well. This one looks pretty complete.
eBay: Rare TRS-80 Disc Drive Controller J&M Systems With Book (item 300111217353 end time May-20-07 14:16:51 PDT)
The exceedingly rare J&M floppy controller WITH the manual. The manual alone is probably worth some bucks. Since the manual says 1983 it is probably a JDF-CoCo, which is the original J&M controller. This controller went through several revisions (at least through D, that I'm aware of). The seller doesn't mention what OS is on the EPROM, but most common was JDOS set for 40-track operation. It won't work with the CoCo 3, but supposedly can be patched.
eBay: TRS-80 coco 2 computer access card rare interface card (item 250116547243 end time May-23-07 15:12:49 PDT)
So rare it hurts. This is a development board for making program paks and interfacing with the CoCo via the pak bus. The seller doesn't list the manufacturer, but if I remember correctly there were a few that made things like this. Very cool. Very expensive, as well. Starting bid of 101.89 and a Buy It Now of $150.00. I would be surprised at all if someone snapped this up.
eBay: TANDY TRS 80 Springster ~VINTAGE VIDEO GAME~1980 (item 270120908058 end time May-18-07 18:58:18 PDT)
Two paks of interest. Springster is a really weird CoCo 3 game. It's just... odd. Never quite got the hang of it. Math Tutor, the pak version in the CoCo 3 era clamshell case. Can't comment on it. Both appear to be a in excellent collectible condition.
eBay: 3 TANDY COCO Game Cartridges w/ Box & Manual THAROGGAD (item 330119696903 end time May-20-07 15:49:55 PDT)
This lot has three CoCo 3 paks in their original clamshells. Those shells, by the way, are an excellent indicator of how the pak has been stored. They yellow very quickly and horribly. So clear clamshells means pretty good storage. This lot includes Castle of Tharoggad, Super Pitfall, and Predator. Alas, Predator is sans manual. (Having played the game extensively, trust me when I say it wouldn't help anyway. Great game... if you're in any way sadistic.)
eBay: 3 TANDY COCO Game Cartridges w/ Box & Manual ROBOCOP (item 330119696896 end time May-20-07 15:49:54 PDT)
Another round of very nice paks for the CoCo 3. This lot includes RoboCop, GFL Championship Football II (blah) and A Mazing World of Malcom Mortar. Never played the latter.
Running late, so no Price Guide Update or sales of note this week. Shall make an extra effort to get something in next time. ;)
