Most all the computer and worth while stuff at Goodwill is auctioned on line thru their Ebay like website, been that way for a few years now. You can check it out here: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/ . I still find keyboards, led/lcd monitors and cables at my locals but no laptops or desktops. In my state Goodwill still has to accept CRT TV's and monitors as part of the "green" recycle act if they want to stay a non-profit status in this state (and not pay state income taxes)...
Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
