What is the most interesting thing you've found when purchasing second hand equipment such as tapes, drives etc?

After pulling several desktops from a metal dumpster:

1. Windows, auto-login (!): Complete records for a real-estate company. 2. Windows, auto-login (!): A family computer with pictures, etc. 3. Windows, auto-login (!): A shared church computer. One user liked pr0n.

Wiped them all, installed Linux, and sold them for $60 each.
