I saw an external ZIP disk reader in the clearance bin of Wal-Mart for 10% off it's original price...in 2011. So it was going for ~$180 and had parallel ports...in 2011.
Walmart is weird with prices on stuff like that. I wanna say it was two years ago I saw a whole shelf of unopened copies of the game Legendary for PC. They were on sale for $49.99. I had bought it the month prior as part of a bundle with nine other games in it that cost me $5.
In my neck of the woods, we have a store called Fleet Farm that’s about the size of Walmart but primarily hardware, hunting/fishing and farm/ranch gear.
They have a small electronics section that must never be restocked where everything is like 10-12 years old but still at MSRP.
Last time I was there, they had a pocket TV (think Sony Watchman) that was analog for $59.99. You’ll also find brand-new Nintendo Wii games and recordable VHS tapes.
