I live near a university, and thought for sure there'd be multiple used
computer stores. There's one that I know of, and the thrift store that
has an electronics section - but everything is as-is.

I've seen white MacBooks pro for $30, I bought a Synology NAS for $100,
a graphing calculator for my son for $5, tons of OpenWRT-compatible
appliance routers for $5-$10, a BlueRay player that plays movies on USB
storage for $20, a Chromebook for $20, and lots of digicams for under
$20.
