Anyone go to the dump for keyboards?
« on: Sat, 24 December 2011, 14:42:58 »
I just went and they had an electronics sections in the salvage yard portion of the dump, i kind of live in a small town and I found a Dell 101W even thought there wasnt much junk there, anyone have success finding model M's doing this?  Is that normal for a dump to be that well organized?

Nope. These days, I buy nib only. Can't find those at the dump.

Profits if you're lucky, but I wouldn't really use a salvaged keyboard unless it were NIB.

The last year I have found 2 Compaq MX 11800s and 1 IBM model M. You can be optimistic but have to be very patient.

I haven't found any keyboards, but I did find a toothbrush, comb and most of a sandwich.
