This is isn't something the FSF is promoting or doing officially, but I
figured some people here might be interested to know. It is the first
time FSF is downsizing offices at least in the last 20 years (maybe all
39 years), so it had accumulated a lot of stuff.
A friend of the FSF and a summer intern, Anush, took it upon himself to
do this. I helped him pick out stuff, but I'm not able to make it
there. Things will have very reasonable prices (especially whatever is
left at the end).
A few highlights off the top of my head:
Serial multiplexers.
Some desktop computers with libreboot.
Heavy iron server case, 3 or 4u, takes a desktop power supply, 8 hot
swap bays.
Some nice ps2 keyboards: happy hacking, model m or similar
Lots of other stuff, I'm sure some of it is equally interesting I just
can't remember.

After I finish this moving work, start attending local user group
meetings again.
