   On offerup last night
   
   Intellivision clone (Telegames Super Video Arcade) with 8 cartridges $40. Works but needs a good cleanup, I'll probably spray paint it.

   No, you don't find old electronics/computers etc in dumpsters anymore...at least not in a ratio to time/value point of view.

   no, at least I've never seen any..but again even if there were there wouldn't be anything like what I'm looking for (1970s/80s era)...that time has passed. Nowerdays "old/vintage" computer shit generally = Pentium 4s or core 2 duos etc...not my scene man.
   
   Look up old/vintage computer on offerup/craigslist/ebay etc and you'll see a bunch of 2004 era shitty Dells etc.

    I already have a blu-ray burner and never use it. Movies I just download and use a USB stick to transfer it into the PC I have hooked up to my TV.
    
    The CD/DVD burner I'll use regularly for burning older software etc to run on a Win XP system etc..and or music CDs for myself and others (I just got a request last week from my hunting buddy (the one who gives me lots of hot sausage) to burn some "country" CDs for him so he can listen to them in his truck while driving up to Oklahoma to get me some more deer sausage.
    
    The burner I currently use is a bit flaky on my main PC for some reason.
