[Coco] CoCos For Sale

Tue Sep 23 22:59:58 EDT 2014

Hi Tim!
I saw your email last night and was amazed that Marty Goodman was letting go of so many Cocos!  As you know I'm very serious about our beloved Color Computer 1, 2 and 3.  I like to make an offer for the following Cocos.

Although I keep applying for positions in the computer technology field I get one of four different responses one of which really gets my gourd - "You're over qualified."  I also get "We've gone with another candidate." Or they call me for an interview then never call me back or I never hear from them at all.  It's very frustrating!  I wish I could offer you the amount most people on this list seem to be able to offer for Cocos, but all I can do at this point is about $120 for three of the ones I highlighted plus shipping.  All I can promise is they will have a wonderful home!  :)
By the way, how is your 2MB Coco doing?  I'd like to hear what you have been doing with it?  If I need to pick just one, I'd say the first one on the list.  For two, I'd say the first one and the Working Coco 3 I cited above.  If the working Coco 3 is gone, I'd like to have the non-working Coco 3.
How did Marty install the extra PIA?  That sounds interesting!  Take care my friend!

Fine print:

Highest offer will not always win. Marty wants these machines to go to people who will enjoy and use them. So let me hear your story.

All offers should include the type of shipping requested. Anything from "I'll come by and pick it up (California: 94520), to "Wrap in plastic, box with 3" of packing on all sides, then box again with 1 inch of packing".

I will ship internationally, But all of these machine use USA power and video signals.

All power cables are intact. Other cables (unless noted) are not included.

Note: Except for the Educational CoCo 2, all the machine were modified by and for the personal use of Marty Goodman. All machines are sold as is, no warranty is either expressed or implied.
