When I was working at a medical products maker in 1992-1994 (they sucked), we had to move and did similar things. As we got near the day of trucking it all out, they held a silent auction for all the stuff they knew had broader appeal and value, I bid on perhaps 14 items.
For a grand total of $254 for my winning bids, I got two shelving units 6 feet tall, 4 feet deep with 3 shelves each, one 6 foot long, one eight. Along with that a Vemco tilting & backlit drafting machine that I sold for $275, and lots of electronic/electrical components. I built my trickle charger for free and it's got an expensive Variac variable transformer. I'm sitting at a Wrightline 48x30 desk that's built strong. I have forgotten so many more things I got, essentially for free.
Of course now I'm the one who's on a cleanup/cleanout bent here at home. I did it last year at the shop and it's been wonderful to have space back.
