I stopped by a small mom and pop department store a few months back to pick up something for work. They used to deal in HiFi equipment way back and still kept a lot of inventory. I happened to take a look through the audio/video accessories. It was full of old antenna products, cartons of new JVC VHS and SuperVHS tapes.. even a few JVC HD VHS blanks! Anyway, wedged way in the back I found a 10 pack carton of new TDK MA90's. They were all there. The box said $1 each. I immediately took them to the counter. The person at the counter told me they were really old and asked if I was sure I wanted them. I said "Oh yes." and he said "I think we have more of these in the warehouse." I gave him my number, bought the carton and was on my way. A few days later I get a phone call from the store, "We have seven more boxes." I put them on hold and picked them up a few days later. Here's the loot in all its glory:
Some day I'll be able to put my kids through college on these.
