AtariLeaf Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Excellent price. I notice a lot of coco auctions won't ship to Canada for some reason. I'm surprised no one has jumped on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to get more people into the CoCo community - although, if you might have a double of one of the games, maybe you're just hoarding hardware...

FND Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well got the COCO collection yesterday, Sadly yet again I have fallen victim to poor shipping Thankfully the damaged items were not the items I was interested in seems the Cassette player had damage not mentioned in the auction (melted area by the battery compartment) the COCO 2 now has case damage along with the printer plastic cover that is now smashed into 1000 pieaces. The seller aparently felt putting a single layer of bubble around each item would be good, yes this would work if the items were not just put into a box about twice the size needed. Each item although wrapped in bubble wrap was free to be move around inside the box, this collection had two COCO systems a printer and the disk drive all of which are heavy and when left to postal abuse were getting slamed against each other with every transfer causing damage to the plastic cases. Again thanfully the items I was most interested seem to have arrived in good condition (hoping the abuse did not damage anything inside the disk drive or the coco 3 ) I should really give up buying anything in lots seems a large percentage of sellers just cant be trusted to use the most basic common sense when packing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 50% of the sellers seem to suck at shipping. I have started always leaving the seller a note as to what I expect shipping wise and what it will take to get the items to me undamaged. If it shows up damaged I always ask for a refund (full or partial depending on damage). If they say no then I file a claim... and win.

The thing that really pisses me off is that the coco is already one of the harder-to-find classic computers, particularly the coco 3's and ESPECIALLY working disk drives so I hope to hell they're ok.

FND Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Some good news while getting my TRS 80 Monitor out of storage so I could test the COCO 3 and Disk Drive I found a TRS 80 2000 (you know you have been collecting to long when you find a complete system that you forgot you had) will need to go back to storage and pull it out for testing it has the CM-1 Monitor, Keyboard and a fast look at the back of the computer I saw two 128k memory boards, all the bays were full but dont remember exactly what the others were also it may be a 2000HD as I only remember seeing one floopy Once I get the Coco 3 and disk drive tested I will have to decide what kind of feedback I will need to leave ?
