Re: So, I was at the local Computer Fair today....
You have to know what you're looking for and know what the general price range of the item is supposed to be. You can still find deals there. I got an Epson Stylus 880 printer for $110. Not bad. Picked up an Afreey 52X CD-ROM (rated one of the best for DAE, and they weren't kidding!) for a mere $27. Got a pack of 50 eighty-minute silver CD-Rs for $22.
Of course you do have to factor in parking and admission, and sometimes that $7 parking fee just doesn't fly. You have to be going to pick up more than just a book and a couple of CDs to make it worth your while.
