 I commonly see slide projectors at the local Goodwill Outlet store.  These outlets have stuff that didn't sell at the regular stores. The sad thing about the products is that these are literally dumped into what looks like a garbage bin, and so parts tend to get scattered, and anything delicate gets broken.  I always feel bad when I see things like this destroyed or loose things like the case lid.  I recently saw an original View-master toy, which would have sold for around 25 cents.  On E-bay it would likely have sold for aorund $16, but in reality would not have been worth my time to buy it and resell on E-bay. And it was unlikely to sell at  the outlet, unless someone recognized what it was.  I had to decide that I had enough "stuff" in my house, and needed to stop buying these things.
And because the stuff here sells by weight, it is not unusual to see old stuff that is just heavy, and therefore is priced too high. Kitchen mixers are one such category.  Conversely, feather boas are quite cheap. I purchased an entire bag of low-quality boas for around $1.
