There was a store like that in front of the city's library. No closed sign, yet the doors were closed, and the items were from 2006.

It suddenly turned into a fruit store early this year.
>>
Do you have a source on it closing decades ago?

I'm guessing it closed sooner than you think and all the 90s era shit was just window decorations so people could see it was a computer shop from the road.

just wait till its night, get a friend to help have a car parked in the back, break in through the back door and bring all the stuff into the truck. If the place is abandoned like you said then it shouldn't be hard at all.

Fascinating. OP, please continue to "document" the disappearance of these fine vintage computers.
>>
I used to live by a crazy old electronics repair guy. He decorated his shop with old 486s in the window running pacman for the lullz. He mostly just repaired large xerox machines for businesses. Wrote notes in hexidecimal and gave me a neat 100-in-1 electronics kit when I was little.

You see, OP. some people are just deranged individuals and and want to say 'fuck you' to your notions of capitalism.

It's the same shop...

I actually came across a place similar to this on my local craigslist that was being cleared out. By the time that I found out about it, they scrapped most of the stuff though. I was able to get some keyboards though, like 2 IBM model M's and some other keyboard that has white alps switches that I currently use with my 5150 since it is XT compatible.

I keep an eye out on craigslist more often now, but I haven't actually found anything similar since. I also make sure to contact people to meet up as soon as possible now too.
>>

I have one of these nearby, but it's only from ~5 years ago. They had some of the most competitive pricing in Australia, but one day they never opened again. The shop is still there with stuff inside. Their website is still up, too:

It's possible the owner owed money or back taxes, and was sealed out of the building until the legal system had finished chewing on him. But if the owner went to jail or died, things may never have been settled and it just got forgotten. The city might even own the property now.
>>
>>56653437
>back door
Literally botnet right there
>>
>>56655126
There's a difference between flat out stealing shit and asking the shop owners if you can get some of that or maybe even buying it for a few cents which is very likely to be possible.

Stop being such a filthy fuck.
>>
>>56655126
>>people want to make use of it, give the technology a new life
Popular fallacy. The people you give that trash to will want it to run Crysis at full rez on Windows 10 with no further expense.

Worked for a place like that.
All the stuff in the window was demo units (nothing in it) or broken but looked good for display.

why OP don't go to the civil authorities and see who is the owner and see if he still is alive or talk to the building owner.

how bout talking to the police?

see some old stores like that, look like fronts for laundering to me.

why are you locking your doors then? be a good role model
>>
>>56652585
Call the property owner and offer 100 bucks to take them off his/her/xer hands

Tell them your refine metals or some shit so they think there is no value in them without a difficult extraction process
>>
>>56658393
It's a shitty argument since OP is only ((strong)) if he managed to get past that locked door.
Also, if you're strong enough to break a metal plated door, be my guest.

>>56662499
tbqh i've seen something similar but with old phones once, it was open but no one to be seen inside and nothing to be sold either; it was like a small entrance hall.
There was a staircase going down not quite in the middle of the room, so i took it. My friend said to me something like "you sure we can go there ?" i said the shop must be somewhere in the back there's nothing here.
We took the stairs and the walls were all blue, in fact the floor and everything was painted blue. There was doors every two meters in that long blue corridor, there's a turn right at the end and my friend said to me "man that's kinda weird, i feel like we shouldn't be here"
We turned right and emerge in a room with a bar with 3 women and 1 man just standing there like they were expecting us. All chinese, my friend talks mandarin a bit so we knew for a fact they were chinese. In the back there's another room with lights and shit but no soul and no music.
The chinese guy said it's a karaoke. But it's weird, i said, there's no one saturday night 11 pm. He said it happens sometimes but we can take a room in the blue corridor and sing for ourselves. It's 40$ for an hour with a couple of drinks, there's even a tab if we want more he said.
The 3 women are smiling, even the guy is smiling, it's like they want to make a good impression. No one is talking about the fact that it took us 2 solid minutes to come down to the main room.
I said thank you we'll come back and my friend said something about lao tseu (he's a fan)

On our way back i noticed that there was people behind the doors, but they weren't singing karaoké.
