Let's face it, we live in a throwaway society.
Want proof? Just drive down any street on garbage night and you are likely to see hundreds of items and materials that could be reused.
That's why I love second hand shopping. It helps the environment. It often helps a charity fund its operations. And the goods for sale are often sold for a great discount from retail.
The University of Michigan Property Disposition is one of these great second hand spots. This is the place where all of the old furniture, office detritus and computers go when the university community deems it surplus. This place is great for filing cabinets, office chairs and old computers.
Our home office, for instance, sports a $30 five-drawer Steelcase filing cabinet that would probably have cost a couple of hundred bucks if purchased new.
This place is also good for strange objects. My wife and I have seen x-ray machines, oscilliscopes and fake human cadavers during previous visits.
