Still pretty quiet

Man, it's still pretty quiet on eBay. And equally quiet it seems this week on the mailing list. There are a few tidbits worth looking at, so, here we go:

If you're in the need for a Hi-Res joystick interface, here's one that looks decent and at a fair price.

Here's a nice looking grey CoCo1, with not a whole lot of info included...

If you're in the market for a decent looking CoCo2, the this one may be for you. the seller has it listed as a Tandy Computer 2 Model 26-31278, but, I'm sure he means a 26-3127B which if my memory serves is the Korean version capable of true lowercase text instead of just the inverse text we've all grown to love/hate...

The same seller with the Hi-Res adapter also has a single button CoCo mouse up for sale as well...

There's another nice looking grey CoCo1 up for auction, seems to be complete with most original documentation that came with it, but, does not say if it's in an original box. Also includes some bonus material from a ZX Spectrum if you need that as well. From the pics it looks like it's been opened up, maybe a memory upgrade??? (just a guess...)

Our next victim, err, auction is for a CoCo2 with original box, or, what's left of the box... Seller claims the original docs, and antenna box are with it, but, as is the case with so many of these auctions, he has no idea of the functional status (I will use a rare case of better judgement and not say any more about this...). 

There seem to be plenty of CoCo2's up for sale, including this one: Radio Shack Tandy TRS80 Color Computer MIB W/access (is this the ever elusive Men In Black edition?) I have no idea what the computer actually looks like; the seller has pics of everything BUT the computer...

Here's the ONLY CoCo3 auction I've seen this week. And it's a pretty complete system, with RGB monitor and R/S printer to boot. If I wasn't already committed to but another system from someone else, I'd seriously consider this myself. Hopefully it'll fine a nice caring home soon...

That's about all that really caught my eyes, auction wise this week. There are a couple of game up for sale that are price rather high, IMHO ($60 for Thexder). Whatever.
I did get a little quality CoCo time in this week, with my newly repaired and upgraded CoCo3. You can read about it on my repack blog if you like. 

Till next time,

MCCM
