I don't know of any dedicated electronics/cpmputer
surpluse tores in
that area. However, I suggest to you that if you ever run across any
CHKD (Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters) Thrift stores to
go there. Why, you ask? Very simple, I've been there on many
occasions and see lots of computers (most are PC) but I had to pass
on an Atari 520ST and (just yesterday!) had to pass on an Amiga 2000
(the whole setup cost less than $30!) just bacuse I live on ship,
and have no room for this stuff.
There's a Thrift Store City, or something close to that name,
just off where Military Highway meets Little Creek Road in Norfolk.
I've gotten MANY cool items from there, though I also liked stopping
at the CHKD stores as well. It was from one of their stores in
Chesapeake that I got an Amiga 4000 for $20! It turned out to have a
bad chip, which I replaced and continued using it for over a year.
I've yet to find their equals up in the D.C. area.
