Bought a used Cisco switch off eBay for $45 and got way more than I bargained for

Last month I snagged a Catalyst 2960 from a seller in Ohio hoping to lab some VLAN configs at home. When it showed up the thing was still running IOS 12.2 and had someone's weird access list still loaded from 2018. Has anyone else found old gear with random leftover configs that taught you something unexpected?

Man that's classic. I found a old HP ProCurve once at a surplus sale. Had some dudes whole home network setup still on it. VLANs for his kid's Minecraft server and everything. Learned a lot about trunk ports just from digging through his old config.
