ValkerieSilk Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Picked this up recently and just wanted to share. I had never come across a boxed version of the Adam Digital Data Drive and thought it was pretty cool (maybe it's common?). I found a PicNSave Ad as well listing the price from 1984 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I saw one just like this yesterday on eBay that sold for $300 buy it now. I made a few offers but wasn't willing to pay the 300. I've spent more than I should've so far this year. Nice pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you mean regarding over budget on retro, but luckily enough days had passed and I was able to give blood again and pickup another awesome Adam collectible...

NIAD Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Nice! I've never seen this before! Very common in 1984/85, but extremely rare know-a-days. Thankfully I have both the US and Canadian CIBs already as the price on these is getting out of hand. After 1985, Coleco sold thousands of the loose drives to mail-order companies and users groups and the price settled in at about $30-$40 if memory serves me right. BTW, I guess a website with pics of all these great items is long overdue... and I got plenty of pics, scans and the actual items.

Rey Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The seller actually came down to 195 for me yesterday. $20 less would've made me bite but now I'm regretting not taking the 195 counter offer. Screw eating! I would've skipped the groceries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klasko54 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Very cool to find a boxed one. I ordered one from Coleco back in 1984, and got one wrapped in bubble wrap, no box. Edited January 27, 2017 by klasko54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 There are actually two variations of the box... one with only English text (US market, but these probably found their way to Canada as well) and one with English/French text (Canadian market). I've never seen a CBS Electronics variation for the European market, but it could exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
