My first pin was a Captain Fantastic that my friend picked up from a dump/landfill. The guy next to him was sliding it off of his truck, and my buddy saved it. It was far from perfect, but it cost me nothing to fix. More luck then anything.

I'm a garbage man in the city I live in and found three games at the curb. I just tell the homeowner I will be back to pick up in a few hours. Also found a box of pcbs and a mk1 control panel.

If the garbage man knocked on my door at 6 a.m. (when he comes round my street) it would scare the hell out of me

Perhaps the Mona Lisa would have been a better grab.
A friend of mine came across two Ms. Pac-man games someone put out on the curb. He took one and left the other, and didn't tell me about it until a week or two later.

Chuck E Cheese thows games away all the time.
They are required to smash them and throw them in the dumpster.
Most store techs are not even able to keep usable parts off of the machines
before they smash them in front of a senior tech or manager.
