I have a great tech thrift store near me. I've bought a lot of great tech
there, but I'm always more interested in the e-waste drop-off. I saw 3
19" Sony Trinitron CRTs once, a couple of Sun desktops, and other
assorted rarities that made me want to give the e-waste guy $20 to go
get a cup of coffee somewhere (preferably 10-15 minutes away)
