[Coco] Sacrificial carts - opinions?

For the the shortpacks, you can use a case for a music cassette. I remember a dutch color computer club that had a coco bus buffer, and hat was in such a case.

Mark,

I do have over 200 of the full length cases, originally from Tandy. 


I could part with 50 or so of them. More than that would start to put me in a bind for my projects.

Price is $5 each. If nothing else a pricing gauge.

I have never had source on the shorty paks. Some oppose using the shorty game paks as sacrificial as you say but when you have over 500 of them and all not in resalable shape, then it just makes sense for reuse.

Hi all,

What's the general opinion here on using sacrificial carts for the cases 
(specifically, I'm talking Coco carts)?

Are there a glut of unwanted cartridges for the Coco? Or does even the least 
sought-after cartridge fetch a pretty penny these days?

Interested in the opinion of the Coco community. Personally, I'm generally 
against this sort of thing, but it is prevalent on other consoles/systems. I 
figured if there was a stockpile of Typing Tutor or Checkers cartridges in 
someone's basement, they mightn't be missed so much?!?

Regards,
