I've got to say I've been going to just about every thrift store in the area about once a week for the past 2-3 months.. in this time I've managed to find a blueberry keyboard and a teardrop ADB mouse. I was getting sort of frustrated and wondered if they even would carry any vintage Macs (or did they refuse to take/throw them away..)..
I stopped in just to get a USB floppy drive I saw the other day, to my shock there was a Macintosh Plus right there in the same case for $20. In one swoop I grabbed that thing without even thinking about it. It doesn't have a keyboard, mouse, or even power cord but I used the power adapter for the SE and amazingly it turned on to a very clear and nice display (no floppies to test the drive yet, 800k disks on their way).
It may not be that much since I'm sure Mac Plus' are common just about everywhere but in a small city where the craigslist is just full of Power Mac G4s (where the sellers want hundreds) it's nice to know that the Goodwill and such aren't just recycling or refusing to take them.
