I hadn’t been to the ACP Computer Swap Meet in about a year and a half so I decided to check it out this past Sunday. It was just as I remembered it – packed full of sweaty geeks who hadn’t seen the sun since the last computer show. But I didn’t come for the freak show, I came for the bargain basement prices – and that’s exactly what I got. I walked away with:

• A $5 6 foot 6-6 pin firewire cable
• A handful of 1800mAh rechargables for $.75 a pop
• Two throwaway knives [AKA “Exhibit A”] for $5

I managed to walk away with everything on my list for $15. It’s a good thing I steered clear of the porn tent [that smells like desperation, if there is such a thing] or else I’d have spent double.
The ACP Compter Swap Meet is a bimonthly event. The next one is Sunday, November 28th. Bring some noseplugs.
