Great idea! At that price, they will probably recoup the original cost or perhaps more.
I wish airlines would offer their surplus equipment in a similar fashion. Things like seats, galley equipment, carts, etc. You can get them from some third party dealer's on web auction sites, but I would prefer to buy direct from the carrier's...

Those carts just brought back a long suppressed memory from High School.

There was some job interest survey we all took back then. One question was, "Would you rather work with animals in a veterinary or sell oranges on a train?"
