   Went to #HARDOFF to pick something up, and ran across this beauty… a #Palm IIIc for $15! Complete with a keyboard, Pilot Pentopia stylus, modem, mobile phone data adapter and a pair of chargers.

   The store description said "the display is somewhat dark” but I think the staff just don’t know how to adjust the brightness on a Palm, after long-pressing the power button and adjusting it up it looks gorgeous!

   Power and Datebook buttons are stiff. Puffy battery?

     My HARD OFF Megathread!

     HARD OFF is my favorite store ever. It’s a Japanese chain of tech thrift stores that will buy your junk and resell it. There’s also OFF HOUSE (clothes/household items), the confusingly unrelated BOOK OFF (used books, games and other media), LIQUOR OFF, etc

     I’ll start off by posting some overview photos of what kind of stuff you can find there, and then start following up whenever I find something interesting

     Let’s go!
