ICONIC RADIOSHACK MEMORABILIA AUCTION
\nFrom humble beginnings in Boston in 1921, over the past 95 years RadioShack established itself as a globally recognized leader and the go to retailer for consumer electronics. RadioShack has always been known as the place for answers to the American public’s technology and electronics questions. “You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.”<\/p>\n

Over the years, RadioShack introduced consumers to exciting and affordable gadgets and electronics that have become household items. As we cleaned out our historic archives in Fort Worth, Texas, we uncovered a cache of iconic memorabilia in 12 huge safes, including: unused original TRS-80 Microcomputers, Realistic Transistor Radios, Tandy computer software games, original brick cell phones and so much more. We all remember coming into RadioShack whether it was for the battery-of-the-month, new walkie-talkies, or to check out the newest RC toy cars. Now we reintroduce many of those nostalgic items and more with our rolling online memorabilia auction.<\/p>\n

Allied Shortwave Receiver<\/p><\/div>\n

I must admit, it would be fun to own a few of these new-in-box\/unused RS items. Besides the shortwave radio offerings, I\u00a0used to drool over the TRS-80 systems.<\/p>\n

I still own my original Tandy Color Computer 2 (the “Co Co 2”). Someday, I plan to hook it up and show my kids what a proper volatile memory meant–turn it off and the memory is wiped clean! I remember\u00a0how revolutionary the cassette tape was–it changed my world!<\/p>\n

No doubt, these RS offerings will fetch top dollar. Even though it’s still early in the auction, many items already have a rather high price and all of them have a soft closing:<\/p>\n

\n

“The closing time of this lot will be extended by 2 minutes if a bid is placed on this lot in the last 2 minutes.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Most, if not all, of these auctions end on July 3, 2017. I doubt I’ll bid on anything…still…I’m enjoying the stroll down memory lane<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
