Goodwill is particularly bad about this. You can almost never find cool stuff in the stores anymore. It’s all siphoned off for ShopGoodwill.
It was definitely one of my luckiest finds, but I think another part of it was that it was a pay by weight bin outlet. A St. Vincent De Paul in my case. Stuff isn’t individually priced and you weigh your items on a scale when you check out and pay by the pound. It’s usually very cheap because mine has a maximum of $5.00 per item so even heavy things like typewriters have been cheap.
I much prefer bin outlets because of this.
My daily driver laptop is the T410 I found at a thrift store for $5.
Got a Sunbeam T-20 at a thrift store a few years ago. Just had to tune it up a little and it’s been working fine. Gets used sometimes 5+ times a day.
I’ve been into typewriters for a while which is a good way to write distraction free, but also have gotten into older word processing devices and electronics.
Alphasmart devices and Palm PDAs are great ways to write distraction free but also with some of the convenience of word processing.
