[Coco] "NEW NORMAL"

[Steve Ostrom]

I agree that this price inflation is not all bad.  I have been collecting 
Coco "stuff" since the early 80's.  Some rare items have been virtually 
impossible to find.  These inflated prices will encourage people to go check 
their old Coco stash, where some of these gems are hiding.  These will then 
be offered for sale instead of disappearing in the trash.

I understand that you’re frustrated that you cannot afford these prices on 
eBay, but please consider the impact of what you are saying here. There are 
people on this very list who have purchased CoCo 3s from eBay at these 
prices. They are not fools; they are simply paying for what the market is 
bearing right now.

At Cloud-9, we’ve adjusted our prices accordingly and are selling clean, 
quality, working CoCo 3s starting at $299.

The days of buying a CoCo 3 for $50 or $100 are pretty much gone. Supply is 
drying up (look at how many CoCo 3s come up on eBay vs. CoCo 2s) and you 
will see why prices have gone up.
