My prior assumption is that tech companies with stupid funding levels are the most likely to splurge on glitzy equipment. Regular businesses not looking for an exit likely have fewer great finds.

You'd be surprised, the local auction companies can be worth keeping an eye on.

Smaller companies never get there, and just kind of disappear; if you have ears to the ground you can learn about them (helps to know commercial real-estate managers).

Everytime my companies have done a fancy building remodel, they fall apart after this. It's like corporate version of jumping the shark

Gotta get a bit suspicious when any org pivots from their product being the product to their appearance being the product.

I guess sometimes it works.
