Also found this Vintage Atari 520 ST Game System Machine on Goodwill. It's currently priced at $60 with the auction ending on May 29. Someday I’d love to get more into the Atari machines, both the 8-bit and 16-bit, they seem to be a bit of a dark horse that could have been much more popular even than they were.

This one almost pains me to post, I want one of these so bad. But it’s pickup only in San Diego, CA: A NEXTStation along with MegaPixel display, keyboard & mouse is up for auction! Current price is $61. Only a few days left, it ends on May 29th. For anyone close enough to San Diego, this might be a heck of a deal because the pickup only tends to go for reasonable prices from what I’ve seen.

Found a listing for a Vintage Apple IIc Personal Computer with monitor, printer, and more. It boots up! Price is currently at $302. Auction ends on May 28th. I bet this ends up getting pretty pricey, but definitely worth keeping an eye on: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/199793185
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

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.

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.
