+swlovinist Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I came across a loose Coleco Expansion Module #3 loose Adam computer. I am looking for an estimate of value for it. Unknown if it works or not. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightywiz Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 it's worth what you think it's worth. to me not knowing if it works or not makes a big difference: does it have the printer, is the printer carridge string still wouind correctly or is it off it's spindle. if it's off you probably won't be able to fix it. if you open the tape drive, is the rubber wheel there and is it rotted (soft and sticky, or has it dry rotted and fallen off). these are things you got to look at. if it's pristine condition and not knowing the condition i would probably try to start at $50 - 100. if there are any defects i talked about above i would try to get it as cheap as i could, or just pass on it if the outside has started to yellow. again it's up to you what you think it's worth.

NIAD Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Exactly what mightwiz said! If the seller can't or won't test it or better yet, let you test it, then it's all worth the price of a BIG doorstop. If you just want to roll the dice, then $40 would be the most that I would go. If you really want an EM#3, I got a mint CIB including the Coleco corrugated shipping box... but it would take a very serious offer for me to sell it seeing as it's as good as your gonna get after 32 years.

+swlovinist Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 These is the perfect answers to my questions. I got an expansion module #3 in a lot with many other items for a good price. The printer is included. The items are not in the best shape, so I will see what I can do to test them and get back to everyone. I have both a Coleco Adam Boxed and Expansion Module #3 boxed in my game collection. I have a local store I will probably trade this in to for cheap if it indeed does not work. I will test this system hopefully tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Cool, let us know how it turns out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 It appears to have a French/English sticker on it, making it Canadian. Rubber wheel is intact on drive. I will try to turn on later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Wow, if the rubber wheel survived that's a good sign for sure! ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
