What is a "design house auction"?

It sounds like a museum auction or something? If so, that sounds like a nice way to promote an environment to enjoy things. Would make a great entrance/foyer hallway feature.

Design firms frequently upgrade their hardware. So you can frequently find great hardware at very low prices. Also snagged a fully loaded Mac Pro trashcan for $1200 back in 2017 when they all went for the iMac Pros.

I spent $50 for each monitor and additional $50 for 2 x Chromecasts.

Net out, 2 x 24” auto-updating photo frames for <$200.

Wow that's extremely good value.

Where did you end up finding the auctions for these? Contact the design firms directly?
