What kind of equipment are you looking for? How much room do you have? What
are your interests and what are you trying to achieve?

If you just want to find "older equipment" then your best bet is to look in
the Yellow Pages under "Scrap Metal", that will give you some places to
check out. Then if there are any "business to business" type Yellow Pages
outfits get a copy and look under recycling, computers, scrap, and hauling
to find advertisements from people trying to entice businesses to sell them
their old computers as scrap. Then look in the classified section of a
newspaper that has a reasonably large circulation, or a newspaper from the
nearest city of more than 1 million people, and check out the "Public
Notices" of sale and auctions for businesses that are being liquidated. Go
to the auction and see if you can find some contacts there.

After a short while, rent a warehouse because if you start seriously asking
for stuff it _will_ start arriving and you will be inundated!
