[Coco] How much is too much? CoCo3

[Steve Strowbridge]

I have been watching CoCo 3's on eBay for about a year now, they usually
start in the $100 price range (US) and go as high as $300, it depends on
the packaging and condition.
_MOST_ of the CoCo 3 computers you will find there will be stock 128K
units, occasionally you may find an upgraded model.
I was very lucky, the two CoCo 3 computers I got were all in the $100 price
range, my first one, included a 512K upgrade and a 6309 processor, which I
won from Neil Blanchard of the CoCo Crew Podcast.
The second one, was listed as non-working, they wanted $100 + shipping, I
talked them into sending it to me for $100 with shipping, and it ended up
actually working.

The ones that are in box, with manuals and very clean often end up selling
for $300 sometimes more, it's crazy.

If you can find a stock, 128K CoCo in the $100 price range, I'd say go for
it, and then order the RAM upgrade from Cloud 9.
You could also probably just by one direct from Cloud 9 already upgraded,
and know that it works.
