[WarpCast] OS/2 eBay Report - 10/12/99 |
Warpstock 99 -- Atlanta -- Oct 16-17 Early registration ends Oct 13 at 3:00 pm EDT Register now to avoid standing in line Saturday morning! Warpstock 99 -- The show for OS/2 users http://www.warpstock.org ************************************************************** Source: Timur Tabi (Timur_Tabi@Dell.com) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- 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. Special Note: I will be attending Warpstock this weekend. Therefore, there will be no eBay report next week. Also, if you're looking for a deal on REAL OS/2 software that is still supported by the vendor (unlike most of the stuff you see on eBay), you should go to Warpstock, because several vendors will be offering discounts on their products to Warpstock attendees. If you don't know what Warpstock is, check out: http://www.warpstock.org And try to get out of the cave every now and then. On eBay, there are several copies of OS/2 2.x, Warp 3, Warp 4, and Lotus applications available for sale, as well as several OS/2 books, mostly for OS/2 2.x or Warp 3. We have this week: MS SQL server for OS/2, Colorwork 1+, GalCiv 1 and 2 plus other stardock software, Drive Image (for the billionth time), Seagate Backup, Backmaster, an old DeScribe manual, and Comm Manager/2. For collectors we have: two lapel pins, a "Ready for OS/2" award, an OS/2 vs NT videotape, a keychain, a luggage tag, a coffee mug, and a t-shirt. For programmers, we have: Borland Turbo Asm for OS/2, Borland C++ books, DevCon 8, and two copies of C Set+++ 2.0. I am always amazed at the number of people trying to sell copies of OS/2 2.0. I'm sure none of those people actually read this report, but if anyone knows of any situation where a person has actually sold a copy of OS/2 2.0 via eBay, I'd love to hear about it. On comp.os.os2.marketplace, someone is selling Dualstor 3.0 and a flaky Ditto tape backup drive. Who in their right mind would purchase a backup device they know has problems? I guess it takes all kinds... 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. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
