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
