I'm curious, does anyone really have any luck with garage sales. I've been
hitting them the past couple weeks, to see what I could come up with.
Today I hit over a dozen, what did I find, a Tandy 1000, and a TeleVideo
console. The console would have been OK, but I didn't want to pay what
they wanted since I don't have a use for it. As for the Tandy, correct me
if I'm wrong, but it's a PC clone, which I don't collect.

Basically the only place I seem to have any luck is at Goodwill, or a swap
meet. Although I did find a guy at the local Flea Market that had the
TI/99-4A cartridge I wanted. Problem is, he doesn't deal in computers only
console systems and cartridges.
