Granite Surplus/Clearance?
Any recommendations on a place that seems to specialize in granite that was either returned, on clearance, seconds etc? Doing a rental kitchen so am not so picky about colors or even slight imperfections for countertops. Thanks.

What you’re looking for are remnants. Most stone yards have remnants — not necessarily a “specialty” for them to have leftover/low grade pieces of stone for sale. We got a marble remnant at a great price from SMC Stone in Greenpoint last year. And, yes, SMC is Chinese-owned and they negotiate. (OTOH, we’ve been to countless stone yards and have never encountered one where negotiating price is not the standard way of doing is business!) However, SMC is also a relatively large yard and has plenty of granite and will deal with you directly (some of the larger yards will only work direct with your fabricator). Ask for Marcus.
goto any chinese place you’ll get prices cheaper than the normal places. just make sure you pay in cash and negotiate. most of them can be found around i think close to 7th ave and and 62nd st or something like that. should be cheap as leftovers.
