Checked the price of old office junk recently? I almost choked over a file
cabinet price the other day, and left without buying an office chair

I haven't looked recently but a few years ago I got 2 of these lights for $5
each. One was OK as is, one needed a battery.
The same guy sold my father in law a leather couch for $10 and a steelcase desk
with chair for $15.
Maybe you are just in a place with a lot more offices going in than coming out.
