Vent: I spent $60 on a 'mystery' hard drive lot that was just full of old tax files

I saw an online auction for a box of ten old hard drives from a closed office, listed as 'unchecked digital media treasure.' It cost me sixty bucks plus shipping. Every single one was wiped or just had years of someone's QuickBooks backups and spreadsheets from 2005. Total bust for anything interesting. Has anyone had better luck with those bulk electronics buys from storage units?

QuickBooks from 2005... seriously?

My uncle still runs his shop on an old DOS system. Green text on a black screen. He says it works fine for invoices and basic stuff. Refuses to learn anything new.
