You Can Literally Buy This Mad Scientist Desk Right Now From Reverse Garbage In Marrickville
The whole thing can be yours for the very reasonable sum of $300.
Wanting to be an evil genius is fine in theory, but the accoutrements are pretty hard to come by. Giant space lasers take all kinds of engineering knowledge to build, and also, where are you actually going to find an army of loyal minions in this economy?
At least you’re covered for evil office furnishings. I mean, just look at this goddamn desk that you can actually go out and buy right now:
Nothing says ‘grovel before me, people of Earth’ like a giant silver desk with lots of mysterious knobs, buttons, and dials on it.
You can actually go and purchase the whole shebang right now for your bat cave, man cave, lady cave, or any other kind of cave you happen to have. But how much will it set you back?
Not exactly! Believe it or not, it’s just $300 from Reverse Garbage in Marrickville in Sydney. The upcycled trash store posted a detailed yet still maddeningly vague description on their Facebook this morning:
Take control of your life, your job, or the planet with this incredible prop control panel desk & wall!! Hot off a recently wrapped feature film, the control wall is wired up to light up (will need to be checked to see if fully functioning) and button and switches labelled in Japanese writing. The control panel and desk also separate for ease of transport.
Sure, but what recently wrapped feature film? Is there a deleted American Hustle scene out there where Jennifer Lawrence tries to cook with it and burns her whole kitchen down? Does Zac Efron’s Are We Officially Dating? have a mad scientist subplot we don’t know about?
The wall unit measures 2.4m x 45cm x 2.4m, while the desk is 2.3m x 1m x 1.1m, if you have the space and also happen to have a very understanding boyfriend or girlfriend.

Aaaaaaaaaand… it’s gone. Oh well. I guess if you want to scratch that evil genius itch, you’ll have to settle for this instead.
