Several years ago I attended a computer club’s yard sale. It was surprisingly large with a lot of goods. I did find some old ram modules for 50 cents each. I actually needed them.
I noticed a brand new Realistic 200 baud modem. It was still in a sealed box and had an original price of $400. The guy in charge told a guy to just mark it 50 cents and if they thought that was too much, just give it to them.
I am not computer savvy but I bet some people would have had a good time there.
I picked up a Del GX420 Optiplex at a yard sale recently.
I had 2 Gb of memory to plunk into it, along with a 250 Gb SATA drive.
Total cost? 20 bucks.
Not bad for a 2.8 Gh Pentium 4.
But it ain’t got a floppy!
