This store is a bust more often than not, but it’s on my drive from Salem to Nashua, so I might as well stop to investigate. I visited the Goodwill in Hudson, New Hampshire one frigid February afternoon expecting to find nothing of importance. Nevertheless, you sometimes find gold among the dross. I might be willing to pay $25 for that SCSI slide scanner… if it wasn’t missing its power supply.
The stuff that's good but not mind-blowing gets placed in glass cases at the front of the store, tagged with, let's say optimistic prices sourced from Buy It Now listings. The truly rare and expensive stuff gets filtered out and shipped to warehouses for listing on online auction sites. As the Onion warned us way back in 1997, people love retro just a little too much, which can make it hard to find bargains. When you're hunting for old junk, it's best to keep your expectations low, so that you can be pleasantly surprised.
