I wonder what kind of charity would take an Amiga computer? Even if he were to "donate" it somewhere, at least it stands a chance of finding a good new home. That's better than binning it at least.

His mindset though is strange. Going to dump it to some "charity", but has a reserve. The guy could at least give it to a 'poor' fan who doesn't already have a nice Amiga system, that could pay for shipping at least.  :)

If it doesn't make his reserve or BIN price, I bet he'll just offer to the next highest bidder, like he said he might do.

The Badwill's around us (WI and IL) no longer accept computers. Not sure about Salavating Amy's anymore. Last couple of times I've been to one, I was pretty much grossed out. The cool, classic and vintage stuff you used to see in these places during the 80's and 90's are all dried up around here. I'll visit the occasional Badwill now and again, but all I see anymore is nothing but crap. St. Vinnie's seems to be the last of the decent thrift stores for vintage electronics, but even then it's a crap shoot.
