Ever wish your Commodore 64 was a luggable? Found a Vintage Commodore SX-64 Home Computer on Goodwill. It’s at $206.23 right now with bidding ending on May 7th at 7:02 PM. I don’t have one of these, but have seen them at VCF Midwest. Quite interesting machines, though I’m not super surprised they didn’t do well commercially. Just not enough of a business market for C64s. But great collectors piece, check it out here: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/197878018#GoodWill#auction#retrocomputing#Commodore
Hopefully there is someone on here that can do this system justice. I found an auction for a Dynabyte DB8/2 Model 5100 on Goodwill's auction site. It's tested (to power on.) Auction wraps up in about 21 hours and going for $358 as of posting time. This one definitely belongs with someone who knows how to take care of it.

Hey everyone, stumbled on a cool find for Apple fans. There's an Apple II GS, model A2S6000, listed on Goodwill. It powers on, and is currently at $89. The auction closes later today, so not much time left. The Apple II GS first hit the market in 1986 and was known for its graphics and sound capabilities, a real step up at that time.

Hey folks, spotted a bundle of New, Blank, & Sealed IBM Formatted Zip 100MB Disks on Goodwill's auction site. Current bid's at $16, with the auction closing on April 21st.

Depending on where it lands might be a great find for anyone needing zip 100 media for data transfer on retro machines.

I hesitate to mention this one because of the price, but in case anyone really wants one there is a IBM Personal Computer 5150 system. It comes with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. Looks like they powered on the monitor and computer separately but not together. The current bid's at $652! and the auction wraps up in just under 8 hours at the time of this post. Take a look: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/194737143#GoodWill#auction#retrocomputing#IBM
Take a look at this Apple Macintosh Powerbook 145B. It's up for grabs at $26 currently, marked For Repair/Parts. There might be something wrong with the screen or maybe it’s just dirty.

I found a Bluray player at #goodwill for $10. Bought some used Miyazaki movies for a few dollars more.
Today it feels (very slightly) subsersive to have a movie in a format that doesn't require an Internet connection, can't be injected with ads, and won't get taken away when the company who sold it gets tired of maintaining the service.
