One of the shacks near me still has that bin every year
after christmas.
It is nothing more than a big cardboard box full of broken or unpackaged
items from the year. They also put all the unsold, or returned xmas gifts
with it (which makes up a bulk of it, so is why I assume it shows up
after xmas every year).
The one's that I'm talking about though weren't just returned
or damaged junk. I used to see them with quite a bit of computer
stuff, mostly stock leftovers, such as cables, cards, and tech
manuals. Once Tandy sold their computer stuff to AST, this type of
stuff pretty much disappeared as time went by and forgotten stock was
disposed of. There used to be some good bargains to be had in the
'used' sections of the ComputerCity stores as well.
