I worked there in 1992, they had an area on the north side of the 
Magic Kingdom where all the excess 'stuff' was laid out, basically in 
a parking lot outdoors.  I bought some laser power supplies there for 
$2.00 each and an electronic balance for $5.00, I 
remember.  Basically, the guy running it just set a price for stuff, 
and if you wanted to pay that, you got it.
Employees only, of course.  I can't remember precisely what they 
called it, however.
