Value Village Conquest #3
Posted by: Mike Richardson on 2008-06-05 14:50:28
My third Mac from Value Village! The first two were a IIsi and a Power Mac 6100.

This time it's a Quadra 610 for $10.

Also got an Apple Extended Keyboard II for $3.

I get lucky there about once a month. They must be some kind of magnet for Macs. I never see them in Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.

Around here Goodwill does not take computers anymore. I have to go across town to the thrift stores to look at them.

If only people in my town gave Macs to my Value Village when I visit...

That's three very nice scores!

Unfortunately the Savers (VV) near me seems to be phasing out their electrical section. I have scored reasonably well there in the past - a 630, a black ADB keyboard, occasional other peripherals.

Check out the goodwill in Austin around I-35 and Anderson; the last time I went I came out with a Duo Dock Plus, a variety of 9-pin and ADB mice, and a couple copies of 7.6 for less than $20.
