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.

Paco Collars
If you looove dogs (and cats) than you will love this company. Born in Oakland, the people who started and work for Paco collars truly love what
they do. Paco collars has a great variety of handcrafted, high quality leather collars and leashes for your four legged friends. Now they are also making leather belts and bracelets for people big and small.

Paco has a nice variety of stock items and will also work with you to make a custom order. Recently they opened a store front on Shattuck Ave. in Berkeley. I have not made it over to the store yet, but I go online all the time.

I have included some photos from the Paco website, but to get the full appreciation of their appreciation of dogs, you need to check out the website gallery page with some over the top cute pics.
