AFAIK prices are firm. It isn't often that I find much of interest
there but once in a while I'll locate something nice. Like the TRS-
80 Model 16B with 2 big boxes of doc and software for $9.99. The
lady called her manager over to make sure I wasn't changing prices
on them. She couldn't believe that a computer THAT big was only
$10.00. Most of the items I pick up there are just bits and pieces
or software or books. They are good if you are looking for an older
Mac or PC.
But nobody else needs to go there. Stay away. ;-)

Someone in Austin might want to get down to the Goodwill Computer Works

This page also has pricings for vintage computers they have for sale. The
Computer Works is apparently where most of the old computers that get
donated to Goodwill in Austin end up.
The prices are a tad inflated (in some cases unreasonable) but I'm sure
you can talk them down.
Let us know if you make out.
