MIT Equipment Exchange



Hello,
	I don't know if I would go as far as saying its like the flea.
Its a little more intresting than the flea.  I got a sun 17" monitor for
$15, a buddy got a 6' plotter for $50 - everything I have gotten there has
worked.  Its more of a few rooms one room has computer stuff, most of the
stuff is fairly old and has been stripped.  If you have a good eye you may
spot something worthwhile for very short money.  They also have a few
rooms with old office furniture desks, chairs etc...  A nice old gentleman
runs it - he gets a kickback on everything sold.  I guess the main thing
is its good stuff - but old, and you must have at least a general idea of
what you are doing, and since its MIT, what you are getting.

Hope that is a help,
Anthony
