Vintage Machines in Gaspe (Montreal, Quebec?)

Well not a lot around Montreal.... I get most of my machines now through trades and through friends and contacts that I have built with time... There used to be A-1 computers in Montreal. Piles of stuff but very weird to deal with. This building was about 20 000sq feet of a unheated building with craters in the parking lot....piles of old computers and monitors and weird stuff and I was once showed another huge 30 X maybe 200 pile in the back. The things were not stacked but thrown in piles! The prices were ridiculous...I showed the owner a Sun IPX and asked "how much for this?" and he said "$100"...he had tons and there was still a tag on the box showing he had paid $2 for it.......last time I was there he said he was moving and going to "internet only sales" and would not be opened to the public anymore...good cause seemed a lot of people were unhappy with whatever they purchased from there...if the prices would of been more "realistic" this could of been a place to find stuff but the prices were just stupid...everytime I passed by there he was in a argument with a client either on the phone on right there... I have yet to find that "gold mine warehouse" where piles of obsolete and semi-obsolete non IBM PC computers would be piled and I could hunt through for hours and grab what I would want for $1/10 pounds....maybe, one day... I have tried to go "public" as much as possible with my hobby and have gotten quite a few machines through people that just hear about me and get in touch with me through email...
