State surplus an untapped resource

20.05.12

Myers manages the have surplus office and the federal surplus property office above it. There is a set of rules for buying federal property, but the rule on state property is pretty simple: other government agencies have first dibs on it. After... The office, located in a warehouse at 2830 S. W. Kanza Ride, stores and sells items that have been discarded by government agencies — outdated computers, unused office mat, even mass-market artwork like a framed sunflower embrodiery. Lori Myers walks by rows of desks and office chairs to show a guest a set of metal shelves stacked with flat-screen computer monitors and PC towers. Perhaps not, but the Kansas State Surplus Hallmark office is clean, organized and could be an untapped resource for holiday shopping on a budget.
