Stuff varies. They always have random office furniture in varying states
of repair, then oddities such as fifty industrial-grade sewing machines,
drill presses, huge ancient computers, dentist chairs, etc. The back of
the building is the drug seizure auction section. Highly variable
selection there, often including furniture, stereos, jewelry,
playstations, motorcycles, and grow lights. Prices on the auction items
worthwhile buying tend to be close to market price due to the professional
buyers and resellers there, but it's possible to get lucky. Most of the
drug items and the higher-ticket items are also put on ebay. It's worth
wandering around the warehouse once, just for the weirdness value. Hours
on the website, but with the recent state govt budget cutbacks might want
to call and see if they've changed without updating the website yet.
