Any Macs at the Flea at MIT Swapmeet?

(see http://web.mit.edu/w1mx/www/swapfest.html ) I've been travelling to MIT a few times a year for 8 years and never knew about this swapmeet. Now I find out I will be there for the September 21st event. YIPEE! I think? The admission price is somewhat steep $5 ($4 with a hardcopy of http://web.mit.edu/w1gsl/Public/flyer ). Anybody know if this swapmeet is worth the admission price for a cheapskate Mac enthusiast?

I tried to take home a Quadra 800 (IIRC that's what it was) and the guy was all borking out about "well it's got this software, and it's too much money for you" (I had $60~ish) I ended taking home one of the worst dells I've ever seen, a Pentium 90, and eventually the memory, ide and everythingelse controllers in it borked out... not a bad looking machine by my standards (a very old style of the OptiPlex, but not ugly.) I wanted to bring home one of the silly IBM Aptiva dealies, what with being black and such... that didn't work either Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide Editor of the MLAgazine "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"
