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.
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. Recently, I've seen a lot of people try to sell user
manuals and "license packs" for various older versions of OS/2.
Starting this week, I won't be reporting on auctions for Drive Image or
Borland C++ books, since these items seem to be always for auction.
There's not much this week: Comm Manager/2, IBM and McAfee anti-virus, DB2/2
1.0, Lantastic, and Colorworks 1.0. There's a package deal of several
versions of OS/2, FaxWorks Pro, DeScribe Voyager, GalCiv 2, SmartSuite, and
some CD-ROM's.
Someone is also selling an "Orange386 OS/2 Coprocessor 1MB", which is either
a 1MB RAM upgrade for some really old computers or it's a co-processor with
OS/2 support. Unfortunately, the seller doesn't respond to emails, so if
anyone knows what it is, please tell me. Considering the seller has over
6,300 responses and 100+ items for sale at any given time, I suspect that
the seller has no idea what it is. Caveat emptor.
For collectors we have an OS/2 jacket, just in time for Winter.
For programmers, we have: Borland C++ 2.0 for OS/2 (yes, the software, not
just the books) and Brief 3.1.
On comp.os.os2.marketplace, we have: Borland C++ 2.0 (software?), DUX
American dictionary, Links/2, some Lotus software, some Warp 3 CD's.
We finally have something worthwhile on Yahoo. Last week we had some
version of FaxWorks, and this week we have a book on PM programming.
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.
