We live near (unnamed) University and some graduating seniors told my
husband where all the seniors who are leaving the country leave a lot
of the *good* stuff they don't want to drag on the plane with them,
and this is how we acquired two free ipods. Plus gobs of other very
cool stuff, most of it totally non-working but a little work and
ingenuity sure helps.
Bet I could name it. A relative pretty much furnished her grad school
apartment from a couple of (unnamed) universities like that in
Cambridge MA, then did it again at another (unnamed) U in Palo Alto CA.
Unfortunately there's nothing but one jr college around here and I
don't know whether the school or the students are more impoverished. I
*did* get a perfectly good USB keyboard at a rummage sale for 75 cents
last Saturday (complaining mightily because they hadn't saved the
mouse).

Ah yes Victoria, your relative is very smart! We also have "Dump-n-Run"
here sometime in the summer, like a huge yard sale where the students
can take all the stuff they don't want and "dump" it, the DNR people
put it all in one place and go thru it, then have a DNR sale, things
are very cheap. LOTS of jeans!
Yep yard sales, Salvation Army, etc. are great for strange electronics
and computer stuff. Our particular Salvation Army always has at least 3
Macs in their store. I make gel candles so it's also great for unique
glassware.
