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.

I apologize for not posting the eBay report over the past couple weeks.
These lapses are bound to happen occasionally.

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 large number of OS/2
books available.  Someone also appears to be selling 6 copies of the Warp 3
bonus pack - I can't tell if that includes OS/2 Warp 3 or not.

Other than that, we have this week: DriveImage 2.0, SPF/PC 4.0, Stacker 1.1,
a DCE client, IBM Internet Connection Server, OS/2 extended services +
database server, Photo>Graphics (I pity the person who bid $65 for it when
you can download the Pro version for free), IBM NetFinity Manager 5.0
(another item you can download for free), PFS:Works for OS/2, EXTRA!
Mainframe for OS/2, Lotus Notes 3.3, and DB2/2 server 2.1.

For the collector, we have: A Fiesta Bowl Polo Shirt, an OS/2 sweater, a
mousepad, a lapel/hat pin, and a coffee mug.

I wasn't kidding when I said there are a lot of OS/2 books available, half
of which are for programmers.  There's some great stuff out there, people!!!
Kogan's "the design of OS/2" is the #1 pick, but there are dozens of others,
including some I've never heard of, like Objects for OS/2, Converting
Applications to OS/2, OS/2 and NetWare Programming, as well as some rare
Microsoft OS/2 programming books.  I'm definitely going to be comparing this
week's list with my current library.

Besides the books, for programmers we have: Two versions of IBM C Set++ and
Borland C++.

Like I said, there is a lot of OS/2 stuff for sale this week, twice as many
items as normal.  Of course, a lot of it is old junk from the 1.x and 2.x
days, but there are some real gems.  Check it out!

On comp.os.os2.marketplace, we have: various versions of OS/2 and one person
who is selling a bunch of OS/2 books, a collection of OS/2 software
(SmartSuite, Colorworks, DeScribe, etc), BYTE's OS2 Programmers Cookbook,
and another person is selling a bunch of programming sutff (VisPro C++, OS/2
DevCons, some books, and DeScribe).

Those of you looking to sell your OS/2 related stuff, I strongly recommend
you put it on eBay 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.
