Do you spend time thrift-shopping at second-hand stores, dumpster diving behind behind universities, ebay/craigslist browsing or lurk in scrap yards? I'd like to hear some stories.

>>fg-GFDK6MAA (OP) Protip- stores will have a compactor and a real dumpster, the good shit goes to the compactor. Near the compactor, there is a little box, that either has a disconnect (you just pull it out), or a circuit breaker (that you either turn off or just pull out and steal) Do this, wait a few days, and explore the gold mine of returned laptops at mal-wart. >t. my dad taught me this, one of my earliest memories. I'll always be proud of you, Spunky
