Need 30 pounds of scissors? Have I got a deal for you...

California Governor and non-girlie-man Arnold Schwarzenegger has been looking for ways to cut his State's massive deficit. His latest tactic is something called the "California Garage Sale."

Up for sale this weekend in Sacramento and on eBay is a host of item ranging from a 1995 Ford Mustang (part of an asset seizure) to a collection of sterling silver Swiss Army Knives by Tiffany (hopefully also part of an asset seizure). Also on sale is a 30 pound bag of scissors.

Of course, there are more mundane things like office furniture (made in California by prisoners) and (very) old computers.

More from Reuters.
