There are a few CoCo 2's on eBay right now with a buy it now option in the 
$49.95-59.95 range.

It's eBay, so it's a coin toss as to if all the chips are actually in the 
CoCo.

Would it be possible to load Extended Color Basic from a cassette? It would 
have to be reloaded each time it was used, but would it be do-able?
