What a steal of a deal. And I like that it also comes with "floppy discs". Mystery grab bag. Maybe one of the floppies has the secrets of the universe on it?
Those "mystery grab bags" can work both ways.Sometimes it's someone with an inflated sense of their value, and the box is just routine junk, with a terribly inflated price.
Other times I'm sure it works out better, they barely want anything for it, yet one thing alone is valuable.
Of course, there was that time I found a Grappler in a box of stuff on the sidewalk. That older Wacom tablet I found a this summer, with serial interface, would be a much better find if I'd realized I needed the stylus, because who knows if it was among the other junk or not, but I didn't think to look.
