    Are these things still for sale? I am interested in the whole lot.

    Use some common sense. The post is from September 1997, 19 years ago. Do
    you really think he's still liquidating? Either he sold it a long time
    ago, or trashed what remained.

    And even if he did have stuff, most people are no longer around in the newsgroup, so posting a reply to a 19 year old message is stupid. The
    guy isn't going to see it.

    The time has come for me to weed out my videogame/computer collection.
    I am no longer going to be collecting for the CoCo and therefore wish
    to liquidate my collection. I prefer larger, multiple-item shipments
    to the same person to save me time on finding boxes, packing, shipping.
    (in other words, I might be able to work out a 5%-10% or so discount on the single item prices if more than one item is bought by one person to be shipped
    in one box)

    Thank you for your interest!

    They probably didn't realize it was such an old post. I accidentally stumbled upon a post where somebody was asking if it was worth it to get a '92 Tandy laptop and I was wondering why the hell that discussion was happening until I glanced to the side
    and saw how dated it was.
