 ===Documentation of outside gizmos===
 Any volunteers bringing gizmos into Free Geek must obtain an equipment pass from the Front Desk.  They must keep this pass with them for as long as they have personal equipment with them.
 ===Borrowing gizmos===
 All Free Geek gizmos going out of the building for purposes of testing, or otherwise loaned out, must be recorded in the Borrow Book at the Front Desk.
 ==NOTE==
 The problem is not so much the actual sales of personal items by volunteers and staff as much as it is the environment that those sales create. For instance, volunteers may not understand that the items being sold are personal (and not Free Geek) property. This can create misperceptions that reflect poorly on Free Geek and allow unscrupulous people to steal and sell Free Geek donations.
 * DEFINITION: A gizmo is an item that might easily mistaken for items donated to Free Geek, such as computers or computer part.

 ===Bringing outside gizmos into Free Geek===
-There are some rare instances where it is acceptable to bring personal gizmos into the Production Areas of Free Geek. Volunteers seeking to bring outside equipment into a Production area must obtain permission from the Staff Area Instructor.  Permission will only be granted if the activity does not interfere with production or any of the Area Instructors ability to assist other volunteers. Any work on outside equipment must be done under the supervision of an Area Instructor and take place during a Production Shift. Production Areas should not serve the purpose of Tech Support. If a volunteer seeks help trouble shooting their computer, they need to bring it to Tech Support.
