I stopped at a garage sale and in the driveway was a ton of old computer equipment. My eyes immediately caught a small box with 3 or 4 factory sealed Atari computer games, I start looking at them and am just about to ask how much they were when a guy comes from behind and says he just bought that box. I offered to buy them from him but he wouldn't sell. So I start looking in another box and then he says that he bought ALL OF IT. There was everything from CIB Commodores to Ataris to MACs along with tons of accessories and other stuff that was in boxes that I could imagine what was in them. I know the asshole didn't pay more than $25 for it all. To make it worse, he kept saying to himself "I don't know what I'm going to do with this stuff but it sure was a deal". So he'll probably take it home, put it in his garage where it will get rained on, mice will chew it up and he'll either throw it away or take it to the flea market and attempt to sell it for hundreds.
If I had gotten there just 15 minutes earlier, I could have saved all that stuff and given it a good home
