There is a really small thrift store in town that I check their dumpster once or twice a week. They throw away probably half of what gets donated. I always come away with something. Stopped by there Friday and it was full of cassette tapes and pillows. Most of the cassettes were gospel music so I didn't grab any of those but there were some boxed computer games mixed in. I grabbed all of those and along with some newer games was a box called "GATO", I opened it up and it was complete and the game disk was a 5.25" old school floppy! It was for IBM, PC, AT, XT. Got it hom and checked on ebay. Saw one or two others that were for Atari or commodore 64, but not this one. I put it on ebay and it sold within an hour for $34 delivered! I pull stuff out of that dumpster all the time that is in the $10-$20 range but that was my nest score so far. I also found a gift wrapped packaged, STILL WRAPPED, so they didn't even look to see what it was before they threw it away. Opened it and it was a Silver plated "Babys first bible". Sells for $10-$15 but who knows what could have been in that package? Its my favorite local honey hole.
