I often go to the UC assets warehouse on official business for my department. It is only open to the public on the first Saturday of the month for a public sale. However, I will take photos and summarize for you the line that is tagged for the next public sale whenever I can.
Most items sell for $2-$20. The Tek scope I picked up for my office was marked at $15… Computer monitors go for $30. This is a fire sale, everything is priced VERY LOW.

Chillers
Good glassware (some very expensive reaction vessels $2)
Big autoclave (functionality very questionable)

Many electromechanical devices in various states. These are an excellent source of good actuators, servos, belts, pulleys, sprockets, etc. I could build a hundred robots from 1 or two of these items.
A few of my favorites are gone: Complete anesthesia machine & tissue chopper.
