Government surplus auctions
Has anyone done any purchasing at govt.surplus or GSA auctions? I used to go to the DRMO ones they had on base back when I was in the AF (20 years ago 
) but haven't done anything like that in years. It now seems the govt. has taken a cue from ebay and a lot of these are now online in auction format. Here are some sites I have found so far-- does anyone know of any others?
http://www.firstgov.gov/shopping/auc...auctions.shtml --great general site
http://www.cwsmarketing.com/current/index.cfm?type=govt --lots of seized cars by US Marshall service
http://www.bid4assets.com/ --more Marshall stuff
http://www.govliquidation.com/
http://gsaauctions.gov --they have a Huey helicopter on there right now

My friend's father used to bid on them, because he worked at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. He bought a 50 ton tank jack, that probably weighed 50 tons! He also had a bid in on a radio tower that was 200 feet tall, but he didn't win that one. He failed to notice that you only had a short time to remove the tower from the premises, and that 10 dollar tower would have wound up costing him hundreds to get moved! In short, they're neat acutions, but beware!
