Heh, yeah, I didn't type that too clearly....
Oh man. I've been going since they opened (damn, nearly a decade now) and have found tooooons of good stuff, mostly vintage computer and console stuff. Of course, for every "good" day you go through a month of shitty days. I wear gloves, always. After a couple good finds you get used to the smell. I've found hidden pills (I
gave them to employees), bottles of acid, live rats.... but, up until COVID, I was there at least once a week. Selling console and random PC finds has paid for a large chunk of my arcade purchases. All of the stuff at the Outlet was destined for a landfill if not purchased, so I don't feel bad being a reseller from Outlet finds.
I also used to dumpster dive when I went to SIUE, so hanging out at the Outlet seemed like a classy step up!
