Store Fixtures

When opening a store, what's the best way to get the fixtures (clothing racks, display cases, shelving, etc) you need. Have any of you found fixtures in a storage unit?

When I opened my first store I walked up and down the street talking to all the other local store owners daily ( I lived in walking distance) and told them what I was doing. Before you know it people were either leading me in the direction of stuff I needed or giving me a few things to get started! That was about 12 years ago, the town I live in has a small town feel to the downtown area and people get to know one another. This time when I opened my second store I lucked out and rented a store with most of the fixtures already there I needed and just bought them off the previous owner.

Ive found most my fixtures in storage lockers including clothing racks display cases shelving etc. The only thing I think I payed for were the pos system and signage.
