Every Monday, I'll be reporting on OS/2-related items for 
sale on http://www.ebay.com and the comp.os.os2.marketplace 
newsgroup. Even if you're not thinking about buying 
anything OS/2 related, you might find something that 
catches your interest.

Looks like Yahoo's auction website is getting more popular.  
Unfortunately, the signal to noise ratio is extremely low.  
Maybe they should be called "Yoyo! Auctions" instead.

On Yahoo! Auctions
(http://auctions.yahoo.com/27743-category-leaf.html?&alocale=1us&acc=us)
you'll see a very small listing of OS/2 software.  You'll 
also see lots of listings for items that have nothing to do 
with OS/2.  Besides various versions of OS/2 for sale, it 
looks like someone is STILL trying to sell his
"Talk Thru for OS/2", which appears to be some kind of 
cross-platform terminal emulator (e.g. VT100)

On eBay, there are several copies of OS/2 2.x, Warp 3, Warp 
4, and Lotus applications available for sale.  There are 
also a number of OS/2 books available.  One in particular 
that I've never heard of is "OS/2: A Business
Perspective" by Dick Conklin.  There's also an old issue of 
OS/2 Monthly.

In the software category, we have: Micrografx Draw for 
OS/2, Relish Organizer, IBM DualStor Tape Backup, Comm 
Manager/2, IBM InfoROM CD-ROM, and Drive Image 2.0.

For the collector, we have a ton of stuff: an OS/2 cotton 
jacket, a white polo shirt, about a dozen different 
lapel/hat pins from various sellers, a patch, and a key 
ring.  This is definitely the week to stock up on OS/2
collectible items.  I recommend you buy as many as you can 
and wear them to Warpstock.
 
For programmers, we have some Borland C++ books, Brief 3.1 
for DOS and OS/2, a couple programming books, IBM C Set++, 
and an old IBM C/2 compiler (could be useful for device 
drivers).

On comp.os.os2.marketplace, we have: some free copies of 
OS/2 2.x and some old programming tools, and various 
versions of Warp 3 and Warp 4 for sale. There's also an 
announcement of a Wireless Data Kit for laptops from 
Extreme Computing.  To find these items, I use the URL
http://www.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/qs.xp?ST=PS&QRY=&defaultOp=AND&DBS=1&OP=dnquery.xp&LNG=ALL&subjects=&groups=comp.os.os2.marketplace&authors=&fromdate=&todate=&showsort=date&maxhits=25

Those of you looking to sell your OS/2 related stuff, I 
strongly recommend you put it on eBay or Yahoo! Auctions 
and post an announcement on comp.os.os2.marketplace. If you 
include the word "OS/2" in the title of your description, 
I'll see it and include it in the next report.

If you're looking for OS/2 items on eBay, search on the 
phrase ("OS/2",OS2), including the parentheses.  I use the 
URL
http://search.ebay.com/cgi-bin/texis/ebay/results.html?maxrecordsPerPage=50&ht=1&query=%28"os%2F2"%2Cos2%29&minPrice=&maxPrice=&ebaytag1=ebayctry&ebaytag1code=0&SortProperty=MetaStartSort&SortOrder=%5Bd%5D
