rapoza609 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Just how rare are the Coleco Adam Disk Drives. I'm not a huge Adam collector but I try to keep my eye out for items if they pop up and recently I found a place with 2 disk drives, 1 with the power supply. Lots of games too.

NIAD Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 They are extremely rare and even rarer to acquire in working condition. If the seller states tested and working as well as returns are available, I would jump on them even if the asking price seems high. If the seller does not state anything, you got a 50/50 chance that it works and should not pay as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapoza609 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 They're being sold as untested but he's asking $100 a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Usually a loose disk drive sell for roughly $125 with the power supply and Adamnet cable. It's an added bonus when the two owner's manuals are also included as well as the Disk Manager software. It's a crap shot now seeing that they are untested and I got that sinking feeling that they may not be in working condition. If you take the leap of faith, buy one, but make sure that you can exchange it for the other if it's not working or a complete refund is available.

ValkerieSilk Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Ya, it took me quite a while to find one that actually worked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
