Where i come from (an insignificant pair of islands off the coast of Antarctica), i managed to equip quite a reasonable workshop largely by haunting auctions, clearance sales etc. I now find myself in the (bloody cold bit of) USA, and perusing things like the auction column of the Sunday paper reveals...Sod All...(other than dozens of antique auctions - boring), now given that there is probably more high tech going on in a 1 mile radius of where i am than ther was in the whole of NZ, WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THE LEFTOVERS ?. I've heard of gov't auctions, but how does one find out about them ? What about 3M? Honeywell?IBM?CDC? the list could go on and on. Any enlightenment would be welcome cheers Mike.
