I wonder if they’ve got a new, IBM Model M keyboard in there...
You’d have to buy your own PS/2 to USB adapter to get it to work. :)
Oh yeah... they probably don't have one of those.
So called "Wedge Savers" are quite common. I own a few for adapting older keyboard wedge devices like barcode and magnetic strip scanners into USB devices.
It was an outlet, so most of the stuff is likely even older. For example there are Pro AudioSpectrum 16 boxes, [1] that's mid-1990s I think (I was on the lookout for Gravis Ultrasound).

The reason the inventory was not liquidated earlier was apparently that the owner was involved in complicated litigation.

Those Holstein-patterned Gateway boxes really bring me back...
Amazing. It’s like one day in 2002 they just got up, left the store, and never came back.

I wonder how the store isn’t more derelict from water leaks no one spotted or how none of the windows (The physical ones, Microsoft’s has been broken for a looooong time) are broken.

The most amazing is how owner of the property let it sit for 20 years.
