  'It's Not a TOO-mah!!'

We've all seen electronics, cars, boats, jewelry, and many other items up for auction, but if you look hard enough you can find a ton of other things. Take for example, medical equipment. Most of the equipment consists of surplus property taken from hospitals and private practices, and are auctioned off for a fraction of the cost of what was originally paid for it. This medical table (pictured), is a great example. With just 5 days left to bid this item is only at $2.50 -- that's less than the price of a cup of coffee at Starbucks people!

  The Coolest Looking Sweeper We've Ever Seen!

When we first saw the auction for this Tennant MDL 355G power sweeper, we weren't really sure what to think.

Hurry up and bid though because this auction isn't going to be around for much longer. Current bid is at $952 with 2 days remaining.
