First, thanks to Brian for returning in the nick of time with some timely posts. See below for some CoCo Goodness in his posts. :)
Okay, so after a month of trying it and failing miserably I'm going to give up on the regular post a specific day thing. :P Back to the "when they hit" posts. These will be briefer than previously. Here we goooo...
Brian already hit this one, but [expletive deleted] me!!! heh...
eBay: TRS 80 CoCo 3 & 2 RGB MONITOR DSK DR CST DR GAMES BOOKS (item 110133742900 end time Jun-07-07 15:19:04 PDT)
Pretty much a collector's wet dream. What I though was interesting was the bidding. This didn't start high. I think it was around $10.00 to start, or something like that, and the initial bidder retracted. By the end, the remaining bidders were hitting in $50.00 or more increments. Serious bidding for a serious lot. Whether this was sold to someone starting a CoCo collection, or to a regular collector, the buyer scored as well. I have most of the stuff in that auction, most of it not in nearly as nice condition, a I guarantee I paid WAY more than $300.00 for it. heh! I've said it before, when these big fat lots come up, grab 'em if you have the means. The seller got a great price for quick unloading. Selling the pieces *might* have gotten more money (big maybe), but it would have taken a lot longer to sell it all. The buyer got a fantastic deal, and a mighty fine CoCo collection. I'll join in with Brian in congrats all around. Great auction.
eBay: TRS-80 Color Computer GT-116 X-PAD Paint Program DISK (item 130121047267 end time Jun-08-07 09:47:45 PDT)
This is the exceedingly rare McPaint from the same guys who did Color Max. :) Woo hoo! Seriously, this is so rare it makes my credit cards itchy.
eBay: TRS-80 Color Basic and Extended System Reference Card (item 250124068746 end time Jun-09-07 11:37:46 PDT)
The startlingly rare Nano Systems' CoCo reference card. Nice looking and useful as well.
eBay: TANDY 5-1/4" THINLINE DISK DRIVE FOR COLOR COMPUTER, NR (item 280121688433 end time Jun-10-07 14:38:16 PDT)
Amazingly nice looking FD-502 (Amazingly, Startlingly, Exceedingly... what I am, Stan Lee today...)! Alas, no manual, but well worth considering for a collection. Good 40-track drive for using, as well. Makes a good OS-9/NitrOS-9 drive.
eBay: LOT of 25 TRS-80 Color Computer RS-DOS DECB PD DISKS (item 130120717210 end time Jun-07-07 07:43:32 PDT)
A collection of 25 disks chock full of Public Domain software for the CoCo. The seller didn't list the contents, but hopefully the buyer will post these eventually. Bet there's some pretty cool stuff in there.
eBay: TRS-80 COLOR DISK DRIVE FOR TANDY WITH BONUS CoCo (item 280122647534 end time Jun-13-07 11:08:50 PDT)
For the old school CoCoist, a good looking, in the box, 26-3022 disk drive with controller and cables. Again with the alas, no manual. Still, if you're interested in doing some serious retro-CoCoing, this will certainly do the job. I remember reading in the mags that these drives were a bit unreliable. The one I have ran for, oh, 27 years and I'm pretty sure it just needs a little head cleaning (motor runs, power's fine, head moves smooth as silk, etc.). Your mileage may vary.
