Rare Apples, eBay, Goodwill

My local Goodwill stores still have some computer stuff. However, I notice lots of printers, and monitors. I suspect they are tossing many of the actual computers. I asked one of the employees about it. He said they they could only sell them for about 99 cents..... I'm thinking that's better than throwing them away! Besides, I bet they could get more than 99 cents for many of them. If they don't put them out, they are garunteeing they won't sell them. I suppose it's also possible that they actually do get more printers and monitors than cpus. Thinking about it now, I gave Goodwill about 3 or 4 printers last year, but no cpus. They do have cpus sometimes, but they're usually old store bought PC's or very old no name PCs, or older Macs. I haven't seen a Microchannel PS/2 or an Apple // in a long time. I've never seen anything like a Vax or Sun equipment at Goodwill. They always seem to have a few old crappy monitors..... do they breed? I've found a few nicer ones. In fact, this 17" Dell with Trinitron tube came from Goodwill. It was $30. I also got my HP LJ 4L from Goodwill. It was only $5, with manual, and in nice shape!
