Upon closer inspection, it was a mindstorms box (with a lot of tape).  I grabbed
it, figuring it was full of wooden blocks or barbie stuff, but upon opening, I
discovered a complete 1.0 mindstorms.  I started sifting through the parts, and
found the RCX, tower, and just about everything else.  I figured it was going to
be expensive, but I saw a $3.00 tag on the box.  I snatched it, took it up to
the desk, and viola!  I had it complete for $3.00.

What? You mean you did not haggle?!? ;)

Well done; that is quite a find. Whenever I get good Lego cheap I often think
that the person selling it did not actually buy it (i.e. it was a gift) and so
views it as an inexpensive toy.

As a bonus, it also had a
znap 3552 (bonus motor & battery box).  I just thought I would share this with
everyone.  It put a big grin on my face :)
