Alright, I'm back home from the System Source Swap Meet and Warehouse Sale. You might have seen my video clips earlier, let's post some pictures! Time for a 🧵

Check out this Power Macintosh in its original box. Now, based on what was in the warehouse, there was some stiff competition for this. I don't think it sold.

What would a swap meet be without a free pile? The pile did ebb and flow a bit (I think I have more pictures too, we'll get to those), but here is what I saw first thing in the morning!

Aaand, weeeeeell, not everything in the free pile was in top shape naturally. But hey, there was some cool stuff there! Can't beat the price, right?

Here are some more vendors, in no apparent order. I love all of those Pentium processors!!

XBox anyone? And check out that cool Apple IIe. And that Power Macintosh? Great shape, and it was going for $20 bucks. I almost brought it home!

Those Computer Shoppers? They followed me home for $5 bucks a piece!! And those Macs? That's @ActionRetro1 's table!

One more pass by the free table, and we see something else that is possibly recognizable! Now, where have we seen this before? 😂

Let's go back into the Warehouse Sale. Oh me, oh my! Laptops galore!

Some laptops were in better shape than others. There was a $5 pile and a $10 pile. But I believe the $5 and $10 items were buy two, get one free!!!

I have to exercise CONSIDERABLE restraint for the PCs. $5 bucks a piece. But don't delay: the same guy who cleared out a lot of Apple stuff last time was back again this time. He bought all remaining PC clones.

It's like it never ends. $10 Apple monitors? WOW! The PCs were also reasonably priced, I don't remember how much. $40 I think?

I thought about picking up this Macintosh! But I just don't know about getting into another collecting ecosystem 😅. But I did see my friends who collect Macs... @torbar and @Mac84tv !!

There was even a PCjr or two for sale!! $20 bucks and it could have been yours. Incredible!

So what did I bring home? Let's watch the back of the van progressively build up 😂. This is more than I wanted to bring home, but oh well. Impulse control must not have joined me on this trip! Anyway, thx for reading!! See you soon!
