I'm not in Ottawa, despite using the Freenet to post, but maybe you should
try ott.forsale.computing  It won't find a high concentration of people
interested in Color Computers, but it will get the Ottawa audience.  Given
that Ottawa isn't very far from Montreal, if that doesn't work you might
try mtl.vendre-forsale

While Montreal was obviously significant to the CoCo because of
Tony Distefano living here, I have no knowledge of what might still
exist here, and never knew what there was in the way of computer clubs in
Ottawa.  If you could find remnants of such things, you might have
a better chance of finding someone who'd know what it all is and want
it.

There are amateur radio clubs in Ottawa, I think if you dig around
the Radio Amateurs of Canada website at http://www.rac.ca you'll
find associated clubs, and given that there was overlap between
the two hobbies years ago, maybe that would help to find the
target audience.

There must be someone who wants it, you just have to find them.
