Weird Stuff Warehouse conquest #3 (BLACK FRIDAY SALE!)

Today, I went over to Weird Stuff Warehouse (explained before ;) ).

Aside the aforementioned Black Friday sale (25% off in everything in the As-Is section), it turns out that they pieced out their "mini-museum", so they had an IBM PC 5150, an Atari ST, a Commodore 64, several Amigas (500 I think), a Apple DuoDisk + green-screen monitor, a couple Commodore and Amiga floppy drives, an Atari 2600, an IBM PS/2 system, and a Macintosh Classic for sale in the front. I snagged the Classic, as well as some other things in the As-Is section (all for Macs; the PC stuff I bought I'm not including here):

Excel 5.0

Boxed PowerPoint (2.0?)

Boxed nearly mint Apple Adjustable Keyboard with documentation (French version. It was missing the numeric pad, but oh well)

Apple 13W3 cable

Apple HDI-45 adapter

brand new Asante FriendlyNet AAUI adapter (original Fry's price tag still affixed; $79.99)

Handspring Visor w/dock

Total (including PC stuff; some random SW): $35.

Woot! :D

 
This store actually isn't a "junk" store. :p It's a outfit that specializes in buying company and retail surplus. Mostly technology, but there is actually a lot of industrial equipment and office supplies (file cabinets, desks, chairs, sofas) too.

The best thing about the store is that if you don't get to buy something one time, it will most likely be waiting for you later, as the store is MASSIVE (20k sq. ft!) In fact, the price tag on the Asante adapter said that it had been in the store since '03.

If you live in CA, it is a must-see.

 
Congrats on your latest conquest JRL! :D I'm going to try and see what I can find at my local Goodwill this weekend. They're having a 50% off everything sale! (Except white tagged items.)

 
They used to have a prototype Apple Imagewriter in their mini museum. I've asked about it several times, but they always told me it wasn't for sale.

I got my Farallon PhoneNet adapters at Weirdstuff for 50 cents each. :)

I like to check there every now and then.

Yep, that's true; that was the highlight of their museum! If anybody is curious about it, it was a clear plastic IW II with a gold plate attached on its lid to commemorate something which I forgot. It was really awesome!

Previously, I've also bought a lot of software from there (including a brand new copy of WriteNow 3.0), a Palm, a giant floppy disk shelf, a SCSI enclosure, and a ton of other things.

They also had some in-box adapters (Mini-DIN 8 Localtalk, GeoPort Modem) when I came.

And on the other hand, the Classic works great! It has some wobbling of the screen, but nothing a soldering iron can't fix.
