Perhaps on E-bay or VCF or places where people know
what it is. I sort of
expect thrift store prices to be a bit lower, cause I don't expect thrift
store management to really know what they have. Of course, they might
have gotten more savvy over the years....
And this is exactly true. Thrift stores are run by people, many of those
people have access to "the web" and many of them know what Ebay is. One of
the thrift stores that is a couple of blocks from here had a C64 in box
with a $50 price tag on it, on the tag it said "Sells on Ebay for over
$100" (once maybe :-) They still are willing to haggle but at least a few
in the sillycon valley have heard about their increasing value. By the same
token there is a goodwill in Sunnyvale that advertises "New lower prices!"
:-).
