It was so different back in 2006. At Quantcast, we sublet a big space that Snocap (Shawn Fanning's second company) had abandoned when they shut down. It was cheap I dunno maybe $2/sqft/mo. We paid $1 for all the existing furniture.

Then we needed to sublet our old space at 2nd and Townsend. Shawn Fanning's new company Rupture wanted the space. We hadn't moved out the furniture yet, and they were interested. So we sold it to them for $1. Way more relaxed back then.
