I don't visit thrift stores too often, but I have visited one place a couple
of times over the last week or so. A Sanyo 675 (or similar number) luggable
computer started at about $27. They lowered it to about $9 and it was
gone. Prices are typically $0.90 for untested stuff. I bought an Apple
II+, Eagle II, Coco 2, and some other stuff at those prices. Tested, the
same things start about $9 or so.
