I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

I learned about the companies selling refurbished Aerons on eBay and picked one up a couple years ago for $400. Love it!

You can occasionally find sales or liquidation of office chairs for cheap. You can also buy refurbished chairs from places like Crandall and get basically a new chair with used metal bits for half the price of new.

You can get refurbs from places like Crandall's too, I got a Steelcase Leap V2 with these big ass rollerblade type wheels and it's been pretty good.
