Garage sale Arduino Projects

I am still looking for an actual Arduino at a garage sale, but no luck. Fortunately, the Arduino was developed and priced using the garage sale philosophy.

What do I mean by garage sale philosophy? Basically anything that can be recycled, repurposed or reused. So this includes any old electronic device, or toy that will be dismantled and scavenged for parts. These repurposed parts can come from yard sales, garage sales, flea markets, auctions, stores like Goodwill and the Dollar store, Ebay, or dumpsters. We will take apart these used electronic contraptions, save the parts, and ultimately use them in Arduino experiments, and along the way, with some luck, have fun and learn something.
