We spent some time wandering around this store in Sunnyvale called "Weird Stuff," that is basically a warehouse for aging technology. You can buy twenty-year-old laptops for $5, a scoop of nuts and bolts for fifty cents, and I purchased two packages of ten cryogenic vials (plastic test tubes with caps) for $1 a bag.
There were bins of these circuit boards, which I think were power supplies for older computers. I thought they were very pretty. They are so detailed and specific, with all the different numbers and colors yet they were so mass-produced and now in this bin for $5-$10 each.
I can spend hours in stores like this.
