    Buy? That’s garbage. Look in garbage places. Used shops of any sort.
    I like the college junk store suggestion. I used to do that.

    You better watch it. You will shortly have a closet full of junk computer parts.

      I already do 😂

      Unfortunately goodwill does not sell computers but they do accept donations, so idk what they do with them.

      There is one used computer store in town, but they have some kind of license agreement where they are only allowed to sell to people on food stamps or Medicaid or whatever. You can’t just go in and buy stuff.

        Hmm. I used to volunteer with Free Geek in Portland OR. It was essentially that, an e-disposal site and we made refurbs for community organizations. But they did have a store for sale to the public.

        I have so much computer junk. I got rid of most of it, but then I got a bunch more when we closed the company office. Got at least 10 monitors, 5 PCs, a mini, couple laptops … and a storage shelf to put it on.
