The first time I went, It was great, I left off a fair ammount of
good-but-old-and-unuseable by me stuff, and walked a way with a
AppleIIc+, a great little machine - with
all kinds of goodies.

The second time it was like you said. I think some tax-type got ahold
of them and told them that they were selling without withholding sales
tax. They said the could
only sell to someone who had a resale license. (but they could
'donate' the equipment to me if I 'donated' to the 'pizza fund') And I
also got the 'scram ya bother us kid'
feeling from them.
