I'd love to do this full time, a lot like auction hunters/toy hunter. Go around finding old electronics.

But one has to pay the bills :-(

If I ever won the lotto (lottery) I'll be doing this full time, would love to have a second hand computer store :-)

@JimS - You often wonder about stuff like that, not classic related but my borther in law works at the local college and there is a lot of PC gear being thrown out. Most of it only 5 years old. Still good enough for internet and possibly some low end gaming.

Where I work for the Navy they're throwing out servers that are only about 5 years old too, many have a lot of life left in them. Most of the stuff I can't get my hands on though, I just think what a waste.

There's always that thought in the back of my mind that someone somewhere is throwing out Amiga gear, and me thinking how can I find out where it's happening :-/
