Do you know if there are national or regional regulations on things like this?
It seems so counter the idea of Goodwill to throw something away they can make pretty good money on. I mean especially iconic designs like the compact Mac series, even non Mac fans can appreciate them if nothing as a decoration somewhere.

It seems to vary from location to location, but I've heard that (in general) if they get collectible stuff they know they can make really good money on, it usually never even hits the local store floors. It gets sent to some central facility and they auction the stuff for high prices on a website I can't remember the name of. As a video game collector, I've heard this tale a lot and it certainly explains why I never see anything good at Goodwill.
