Cal Overstock & Surplus
So I am sure you all know about Urban Ore, but what you may not know is that right down the street is a U.C. Berkeley building that houses many of the University's surplus items.

I was just in there this week looking for a table and wow, they have rows of chairs, desks, filing cabinets and random wonderful finds like bike parts old library card catalog files and large wooden drawers that looked like something out of a 1950's science lab...cool stuff.

The best part is most items are really priced to sell..cheap. Almost everything in the
warehouse can be purchased on the spot, but the more valuable equipment and computers are available twice a week at the public auctions. I have never attended, but my guess is if you really
want something , you will probably get it.

If you have never been, it is worth checking out.
