[Coco] Lucky ebay bidder

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

Although I haven't had the chance in the last couple of months to update it, they have been on my site (www.thecocolounge.com) for the last 2 and a half years for $5 and $14.98 for the 32K models. With sites like CoCo3.com, only a faithfull few even check out my site. I have mentioned it many times on the list. But thats all in the past now. I have lots of stuff up there for sale, and a ton more in boxes not even looked at yet. But I have to change the Paypal links on the site now and my inventory has changed somewhat. If anybody is looking for something specific they can always email me. To give them away for the price of shipping is just not an option though. I do not have a veihical and live about 10 blocks from the nearest post office, so I walk, on Saturdays down to fufill any orders I might have, I know for sure right now I am out of 500,501, and 502 floppy drives, but I have at least 3 older drive with no ribon cables. I am also out of Multi-paks and monitors. I hope to somewhat update it soon. Now many have complained about my shipping prices, but I am up in Canada ad Canada Post charges high. I am not making any money off shipping, and if the shipping charge is less, I usually refund the difference.
