The answer corporate *really* wants is “Lease it.”

You’re stuck with an outdated piece of equipment, that you can’t use, that costs lots to store. It’s too valuable to give away, but no one is interested in buying the thing and having to find a *permanent* place for it. (Can’t give it away, can’t sell it.)

The answer is to serve the smaller or upstart business that *can* make use of the outdated equipment. Set up a lease agreement, and not only do you reduce your storage costs, you also turn the unusable equipment into a revenue stream. And lending satisfies neither giving it away *nor* selling it outright. 

Boom. Hired.

I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed that that was my first thought.
