I was too late for the soup and ammo purchase rush of early 2002 before everyone hunkered in. now I'm going to start selling oxygen containers and sunlight simulators. i think we should hold an annual Ground Hog Day event, except call it a "Bear Cave Day." Someone can come out and we can figure out if there's six more weeks of a bear market.

Not me. My desk is a solid 7'x3' model I got for $50 when Expo Center closed. My chair is from an executive's office when another local business closed. About a third of the furniture in this house is high end stuff from business liquidations. Even some of the fixtures and one of the walls were bought for pennies on the dollar. Heavy duty steel racks from Franks Nursery, tables from a furniture store (not the ones they normally sell), Storage cabinets from Mervyns, Book shelves from a book store, glass fixtures from a glass manufacturer, the list goes on and on.
