Of course, back then Weird Stuff always had huge piles

I didn't anticipate wanting those either :-(

Woah, really? Those were the days. I remember
walking into WS in around
1993 and asking if they had any Lisas. The guy said they had three and
would sell the good ones at $50 each. I wasn't interested as I was only
looking for a drive for mine at the time. Those were the days!
I picked up a few spare ProFile drives there, but they tended to want too
much money for them (often over $100), and I was only buying spares because
I knew they were unreliable.
It's a shame that we don't often recognize which stuff is worth saving
while it is still easy to find.
I've been trying to identify which recent stuff is worth saving, and my
(hopefully false) conclusion is, "none of it."
Anybody care to hazard guesses at what products are actually being
manufactured now, that you'd want to have in your classic computer
collection ten years from now?
