We have much admiration for the brave souls who regularly head to estate auctions with hopes of scoring a decor gem or piece of furniture for cheap. This Thursday at 5p.m., the bankrupt solar company Solyndra Inc. will be auctioning off furniture and other items from its corporate headquarters in the South Bay. The auction company Heritage Global Partners is calling the event the "solar auction of the year," so make sure you rent the largest U-Haul available. Extra points to those who send in photos of their home that's been redecorated with Solyndra leather sofas and microwaves. [NBC Bay Area/photo via Alex Hinds for Shutterstock]
