I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3.

Lol, my friend is always on the lookout for "pro-life" thrift stores, apparently they have the best deals. (BC)
They often have no damn clue what they're selling and clearly just make up prices on the spot. I've flipped a few things for a 500%+ profit from the super-ultra-Jesus-ey thrift stores. Computer hardware in particular is something they just don't grasp the value of. If you ever need a managed switch or a spare monitor, check the thrift stores.
Got Wii Sports for $1 at a thrift store like that, whereas their glassware was usually significantly above comparable eBay listings (despite the labels sometimes claiming otherwise). Unfortunately, at least where I live, the odds of computer stuff showing up are few and far between.
They have stickers which tell you they're cheaper than eBay when that's actually not the case? Isn't that illegal?
ehhh, just a bit illegal
It's only false advertising if they can't find a single ebay listing with a higher price.
At least, if they worded it carefully like, "cheaper than ebay!"
Here in my country every op shop is overpriced and you never find a bargain.
Germany?
