[ale] Swap meet or recycle shop?

[George L. Allen]

Dallas has a big swapmeet/sidewalk sale every month - I think it started
out as ham-radio, expanded to include vendors, recyclers, etc. Last time I
went was pre-ebay, and it was a pretty massive deal:

Austin also had a "Goodwill Computer Store" where companies would dump
their life-cycle replacements for the tax-write off, and those guys would
re-sell them to the masses for cheap. They had a nice museum in the back
with some VAXen and other old boxes. Non-techies could buy a decent box for
50 bucks... techies basically had a pull-a-part for computers.

Does Atlanta have anything similar to either one of these?
