They probably priced it so high that nobody would.  I'm frequently amazed by
the number of untested computer items that Goodwill offers for sale, without
warranties, without cables or power supplies, and without documentation, yet
they frequently ask more $$ than when the items were new.

I hear these stories about people buying old Macs at their local thrift
stores for $20 -- that just doesn't happen around here.  :-(
