Recession Whacker #8

Need a new computer? Want some new office chairs? How about a new coffee machine, a fax machine or a government surplus ICBM missile system?

Uncle Sam can help!

Periodically, the U.S. government holds "garage sales" of surplus equipment. It's a great way of getting office supplies on the cheap.

Of course, most items have been used. And sometimes the equipment is just a teeny bit outdated . . . But, hey! You've given a lot of Uncle Sam (and bankers!) lately. Why not get a little something back on the cheap?
