The MDG will occasionally surplus equipment to make room for new equipment or to reorganize. When this occurs we are required to follow the University's guidelines, thus any such equipment will be disposed of through Terrapin Trader. It is expected that most of these will be "Bid items," so please feel free to peruse their website.
