Sellam,
That picture is of their "museum shelves". They won't sell that stuff to
people (I've tried!).
For good stuff, you have to watch. They REGULARLY throw away nice old
8-bit machines, drives, monitors, printers and etc. which they won't sell
to the public. They KILL ME! I know several of the guys and I tell them
that I'll take all TRS-80 stuff off their hands and other old 8-bit
machines but, they won't save it and I end up doing dumpster diving to get
it. They are a good bunch but, they listen to "the home office" too much
about how to dispose of equipment. (I know for a fact that they get 3cents
per pound for scrap metal and me buying one VIC-20 for $1.00 would cover
30lbs!)
ARGH!!!
