I live in Bay Area and like visiting Goodwill. Although I haven't seen anything as cool as the one in this article, sometimes there are coffee mugs or T-shirts of failed startups and large companies that are gone long time ago, or lovely T-shirts that used to be sold in Cupertino Apple store.

Goodwill in the PNW is great too with lots of Microsoft “not for sale” items.

  Not as much prototype stuff (at least not yet for me) but good stuff in Portland, too. I’m looking forward to getting back post-COVID.

    Early last year they had a handful of what appeared to be pre-production Microsoft wireless display adapters at the Baseline location. None of the info printed on it matched retail units as far as I could tell. Prices have been crazy since they've re-opened. They have a bunch of Apple devices in right now, some company dropped off a ton.

  I was able to get a MS t-shirt with the Windows Defender logo on the front with "XP SP2" below it and "SECURITY" on the back. It's absurd and I love it

  Puget Sound or Seattle-Tacoma is probably more accurate, as Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, BC are also part of the PNW.

I miss Mike Quinn and Weird Stuff. I haunted them in my youth and made all kinds of crazy projects.
